C arl Brinkley has managed to achieve the American dream in D aytona Beach. M any in the city know him as the long-time executive director of the D aytona Beach Housing Authority. M any more know him as a minister of the gospel at several churches. B ut he has worn many other hats: he was the first black deputy sheriff in Volusia County and he has served on dozens of volunteer advisory boards and committees, making a difference not only for black residents, but all who live in the area. C atherine Kershaw of BethuneC ookman University first met Rev. Br inkley while serving on a community housing resource board. H e is a significant part of Daytona history in his affiliation with BCU and the leadership he gave to public housing, Ms. Kershaw said. D uring his era, he should be considered one of the most distinguished leaders in Daytona Beach and a force to be reckoned with on issues that impacted the AfricanAmerican community. Re v. Br inkley was born in 1925 and grew up in Newark, N.J., where he was one of few black students attending the integrated Central Av enue Elementary and Junior High schools. In 1942, shortly after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Rev. Brinkley, at 16, lied about his age and enlisted in the United States Marines on the cusp of World War II. I believed our enemy was Japan and I was only another American that wanted to serve my country, Mr. Brinkley said as to why he enlisted. Their (whites) problems were my problems. My friends were going. We went to the theater seeing the ships being blown up. I was the first to enlist. Re v. Br inkley would eventually end up at Camp Lejeune in North Ca r olina where he would get his first taste of Southern segregation. In 1948, Rev. Brinkley came to D aytona Beach at age 23 to help his ailing grandparents. While many blacks at the time we re headed North, fleeing the S outh because of discrimination and segregation, Rev. Brinkley did the opposite. After arriving here he got his call to be a preacher. I t was three oclock in the morning, Rev. Brinkley said. The spirit said go preach my gospel. Re v. Br inkleys grandparents were w ell off compared to most black and many white residents. H is grandmother, Liza BrinkleyW illiams, was the only black woman in town, other than her friend, Mary M cLeod Bethune, founder of B ethune-Cookman University, who o wned her own car. Mrs. Brinkley-Williams inheritedBy James HarperF or Hometown News See PA ST OR, A11HOA board occupies Port Orange neighborhoodPORT ORANGE The Occupy movement has come to town, but the protests are not about Wall St r eet. S ome residents of the Sleepy H ollow subdivision are using the global movement that protests economic and social inequality as a creative way to encourage neighbors to pay their homeowners association dues because some of their neighbors arent paying. The Sleepy Hollow Recreation Associations board of directors have set up an Occupy Sleepy Hollow tent on the left hand side of the neighborhood entrance, just outside the tennis courts. Alan Titkemeier, the boards treasurer, came up with the idea of O ccupy Sleepy Hollow to bring attention to the neighborhoods issue of homeowners not paying their dues and to make it relevant to the news of the day. That was our attempt to make it visible to the homeowners (who dont pay their dues), he said, and also for those who pay (to say) we appreciate you paying, this is our protest on behalf of you. N ext to the tent is a miniature American flag, a beach chair, a cooler, and a log decorated with r ed lights that light up at night to r esemble a campfire. Mr. Titkemeier said the site started out with just a tent and an O ccupy Sleepy Hollow sign, but board members kept adding to it to look like someone camped out there to protest. E choing a common sentiment heard in the Occupy protests, Sl eepy Hollows board of directors wants all homeowners to pay their fair share. Sl eepy Hollow, a two-acre neighborhood located on Nova Road, has 175 homeowners. On average, 70 of them dont pay their annual dues, said Carol Teta, vice president of Sleepy Hollows board of directors. Ms. Teta said the amount of nonpayers fluctuates. S ometimes they (homeowners) dont give me a check until I ask them, she said. D ues are $150 a year and pay for the common grounds, the pool, and the tennis courts, Ms. Teta said. While standing outside the tennis courts on a recent afternoon, Ms. Teta, who was also one of the subdivisions first homeowners, said all residents should be held r esponsible for maintaining the appearance of the neighborhood. Who do you think mows the lawn? she said. You think a lawn mowing genie goes out and does it? S ome of the non-paying residents are in rough financial situations, but others have the ability to pay and choose not to, she said.

She will serve as Volusia Countys T eacher of the Year throughout this school year and next, representing all of V olusias teachers. Mrs. Birney received her award before an audience of 900 friends of public education at the Hilton Daytona B each Oceanfront Resort on Fr iday, Feb. 10, 2012.The announcement was made at a celebration co-hosted by FUTURES Foundation and the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce. O ne of the most important goals of the FUTURES F oundation is to serve and to support our innovative, amazing teachers who continue to work passionately every day on behalf of the students of Volusia County, said Bobby Thigpen, FUTURES Foundation President.Our Board and our Chamber feel strongly that our teachers deserve praise, v alidation and celebration as a special group of professionals. Mrs. Birney began her career with Volusia County Schools in 2008, after teaching for 30 years in New York. S he taught second and fourth grades at Freedom Elementary and then in 2011 moved to Citrus Grove where she took on a major r ole to help open the new school and now teaches fourth grade. Each student in Mrs. Birneys classroom is keeping a r ealistic passport for the y ear to document the places traveled as they make their way through the fourth grade reading textbook.Her class has even gone to the moon. In math, students use dry erase markers on their desktops to show their work, which they can quickly erase to correct a mistake. To celebrate a moment of pride, the class gives a silent cheer for a group, a roller coaster cheer for a classmates achievement or a dance for the whole class. H er students know that each child gains knowledge at different rates and they are always willing to help a hungry neighbor. Mrs. Birney believes one of the most satisfying ways to unite a classroom or school is to be involved in the community.She championed a new playground for her elementary school in N ew York.And last year, she worked with a group of volunteers for 10 months to design, build and paint sets and create costumes for 86 children to perform in B eauty and the Beast at the Athens Theatre in D eLand. A colleague described Mrs. Birney as having magical creativity, enthusiasm, motivation and love for children that is not only the glitter in their lives, but the sparkle for her school team. Mrs. Birney lives up to that expectation daily and says that people in her world know they can count on her to add sparkle to their lives. In addition to Mrs. Birney, four other teachers received special recognition as finalists: Kip Dickens-Best, 4th/5th grade, Pine Trail Elementary Heather H.

I n 1927, M ajor H enr y S egr ave had become the first person to tr avel o v er 200 mph in his big S unbeam M yster y S. Then in F ebr uar y of 1928, C aptain M alcolm C ampbell had dr iven his N apier po w er ed B luebir d to a new r ecor d of 206.9 mph. That same y ear the r acing community was abuzz o v er the arr iv al of a huge untested machine that was being stor ed in the Or mond G ar age The Tr iplex was the br ainchild of P hiladelphia contr actor J im White Although he had little exper ience in r acing, Mr White was deter mined to wr est the r ecor d away fr om the B r its and r etur n it to the U nited S tates H is plan to attain the top speed was to build a car with mor e horsepo w er than had ever been attempted. On a heavy angle ir on fr ame he had mounted thr ee 1,000-horsepo w er Liber ty Air cr aft engines One of the big po w er plants was out fr ont of the dr iver and the other two dir ectly behind him. A t ov er 81,000 cubic inches it was far and away the lar gest and most po w er ful car ever built. To dr ive the car J im White hir ed famed I ndianapolis r acer R ay K eech. The daunting task of tr ying to synchr oniz e the thr ee engines w ent to local mechanic Lee B ible D ay after day B ible tuned the car and K eech would tear off do wn the beach. S oon the many pr actice r uns began to take its toll on the batter ed dr iver H eat, noise and vibr ation w er e his constant companion. B y the time the car was r eady for the r ecor d tr y K eech s hands and feet w er e heavily bandaged fr om the bur ns and he could har dly hear S omeho w he would hold it together for a two-way aver age of 207.9 mph on Ap r il 22nd of 1928. That only eclipsed C ampbell s mar k b y about a half mile but it was good enough to br ing the r ecor d back to the states K eech was elated and took his sizable check and left to wn. J im White was not quite so happ y H e felt that his cr eation was capable of much gr eater speeds than K eech was able to achieve B efor e his depar tur e he told the pr ess that he would r etur n with the T r iplex the follo wing y ear S ur e enough, in the Sp r ing of 1929 he was back with the impr o v ed T r iplex. This time he had no dr iver because the wor d had gotten out about the sever e beating K eech had taken.

As the days passed, Mr White was gr o wing mor e and mor e impatient. I t did not help that on Ma r ch 11 M aj S egr ave had r aised the bar to an incr edible 231.3 mph.

VOL USIA COUNTY The Volusia County Council r ecently decided to let the r esidents decide in November if honest-to-God slot machines, that take and give real money, should be allowed here. So rt of. The one-armed bandits have a long road to get down before they actually get to the voters. The Florida Senate has a bill that would allow counties voters to approve slot machines at places where pari-mutuel betting is allowed (such as the Daytona Beach Kennel Club). In order to take advantage of the provision, should it become law, counties had to figuratively stake the ground before the end of J anuary. But, at this writing, theres not a companion bill in the Florida House. Without that, the senate bill becomes just another lost legislative curiosity. If the house does take up the senates bill, and it passes both chambers (despite thick opposition from all quarters), it needs the governors signature. Again its a long road. O h, and then therell be the inevitable court challenges, according to the legal-types who know about these sorts of things. So if the Florida House and Senate and Governor and courts let voters decide whether they want slot machines at pari-mutuels, the Volusia County Council has tentatively agreed to move the ballot measure forward. If a recent Hometown N ews unscientific survey is a safe indicator, theres a good chance Volusia voters would approve slot machines, and visitors would use them. We asked r esidents: Would you vote to allow slot machines in V olusia County? Visitors were asked, Do you think voters should allow slot machines in V olusia County?

Unfortunately, this factor makes injuries on construction sites a common occurrence. Some worker injuries are very mild; however they can also range from moderate to severe, while some are even fatal. Causes of Work-Related Accidents Regulations exist for ensuring the safety and protection of workers and others who enter construction sites; however these are not fool proof for the prevention of serious injuries. Construction accident injuries may result from falls, falling objects, equipment malfunctions and other issues. Workers may also become injured by inhaling or coming into contact with dangerous chemicals or toxins, as well as incurring muscle strain from lifting objects or making repetitive movements. Finding Liability When someone becomes injured at a construction site, several people or entities may be r esponsible for damages sustained by the victim. Liable parties may include the owner of the site, equipment manufacturers, suppliers of building materials, contractors and others with a stake in or connections to the construction site or project. The parties found to be negligent in a construction accident case may be liable for medical bills, pain and suffering expenses and loss of income. In some cases, those liable may be forced to pay punitive damages, if malice or gross negligence is shown to have occurred. The Benefits of Hiring an Attorney If someone has been injured at a construction site or at a work setting in general, it may be beneficial to contact a personal injury attorney knowledgeable in areas of accident claims and workers compensation laws. This type of attorney can help an injured victim sort out the complexities of filing a claim and establishing liability for all who may be at fault.

So, yes indeed, watch your cats and kittens. I am tired of having my plants and watering system ruining by y our pets. They are also mating with the cats in the sewer system. Enough is enough. In response to: Watch your catsC ats are also being trapped in Sleepy Hollow. I have a cat. It is an indoor cat. Indoor cats can live to be 18 years old. Outdoor cats are lucky to make it to 6 years old. I am an avid bird watcher and bird feeder. I am tired of watching your cats take birds out of my yard. I am tried of watching them kill. So yes, I am trapping them and turning them over as well. If you are going to be a cat owner, be a responsible one. Quit smoking and buy new carsThis is a carrot in front of a stubborn donkey who wont quit smoking. D id you know an average couple who smokes spends $10 a day, $70 a week, $280 a month and $3,360 a year on their habit? In six years, that is $20,160. So every six years, if you quit smoking, you can buy y ourself a brand new car. That should be an incentive to get rid of that filthy habit thats killing you and killing thousands. Thank you.The less you make, the more you payI had to pay $100 to have my taxes done this year because I dont have a bunch of deductions. I cant deduct the cost of doing the taxes, which seems to be another attack on the people who make less money. The less you make, the more you have to pay.Pledge of AllegianceI pledged allegiance to the flag before the second W orld War.

B ut while the 1992 combo was a week apart, this time the race and the game are on the same day (Sunday, Feb 26). This should create a business boom even in hotels and resturants in west V olusia County, which usually gets just a modest boost from Speedweeks. The usual spike in hotel rates also could help push for more development of hotels in the area, especially along the beach. The area hotels need to show a sharp r ise, though, for the number crunchers to sign off on what has become an extremely expensive endeavor. The H ampton Inn under construction in New Smyrna B each, which is relatively small with 112 rooms, is a $16-million project. *** In another sort of racingr elated story, S unoco, which provides the racing fuel at D aytona International S peedway, has bought 11 convenience store/gas stations from First Coast Energy. Sunoco now has a station with signage for race fans to see adjacent to DIS. The Sunoco station locator now shows it with 28 sites in V olusia County 10 in D aytona Beach, three each in D eLand and Holly Hill, and one each in DeBary, DeLeon Sp ri ngs, Deltona, Edgewater, Lake Helen, New Smyrna B each, Oak Hill, Orange City, O steen, Ormond Beach, Ormond-by-the-Sea and S outh Daytona. No financial details of the deal were released, but maybe First Coast will use some of the money from the sales to renovate and reopen some of its vacant properties in the county. *** It could be good times, or not, for the Ormond Beach Airport Business Park with two new businesses moving there. Commercial Coating Pr os Co. has already leased 6 Aviator Way to move 15 workers there. Germ Free Laboratories is expanding its plant to accommodate building a new line of mobile environmental labs. Another unnamed existing business also wants to expand. How ever, two of the parks biggest tenants sunglasses maker Stylemark and C odeRed developer Emergency Communications N etworks have both been sold. The city is working on keeping the Stylemark plant there, but new owner FGX I nternational of Rhode I sland hasnt said what it plans to do.

The current Emergency O perations Center, 49 Keyton Drive, was built in 1976 and covers 9,000 square feet. It serves as the central command center for emergency response in Volusia C ounty. All public safety dispatching in Volusia County for law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services was consolidated last year into a unified system under the Sheriffs Office. The countys emergency dispatchers currently work out of two different centers. Sheriff Johnson said the new dispatch center will improve communications and make the system even more efficient.

H e clearly stood out on top, she said. When councilors considered whether or not to confirm Mr. Fabrizio, they were not swayed by media r eports of two incidents during his career with the Orange County Sheriffs Office. B oth the Daytona Beach N ews-Journal and the Orlando Sentinel reported Mr. Fabrizio was suspended in 2005 after his investigation of deputies involved in a high speed pursuit of a stolen car concluded that none of his deputies were r esponsible. The chase r esulted in the deaths of two innocent bystanders. S ources said Sheriffs Office officials considered the investigation flawed. B oth newspapers also r eported that Mr. Fabrizio was suspended again and demoted from major to captain in 2010 after leaking confidential information to his daughter about the then-active case of Edwin McFarlane, a teenager accused of trying to kidnap a child outside a department store in Orlando. His daughter posted the information on a blog. I dont put a lot of credence in that because I (believe) if you dont have an oops or two in your re sume, it just means youre not doing much, Councilman Scott Meacham said. The only concern councilors had was whether Mr. F abrizio would successfully adapt to a small town police force after spending nearly three decades in the big city. I dont think the town of P once Inlet resembles law enforcement in the Orlando area and I think it takes a special person to understand that and manage his approaches to the position so that its amicable but professional to a community such as this, Mr. M eacham said. Mr. Fabrizios resume stated that the Orange C ounty Sheriffs Office has 2,400 full time employees and a $180-million budget. P once Inlets police department has 14 full-time employees and a $1.2-million budget, according to the towns budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year. The incoming chief told councilors he is looking forward to the change of pace. I understand this is much, much different from where I come from, and I cant tell you how happy I am to get away from where I come from, he said. I know we have Disney (W orld) there, but we (also) have a lot of crime. Mr. Fabrizios swearing in ceremony will be held Ma rc h 5 at 4 p.m. at the To wn Council Chambers, 4300 South Atlantic Avenue. After a record-breaking debut in August, the Daytona Beach Home & Garden Show and Daytona B oat Show will return to the O cean Center March 2. The spring Home & Garden show will feature more than 200 exhibits that will display everything for in and around your home, as w ell as garden and landscape displays by area landscape designers, according to the shows manager, Dave Kielhurn of East Coast Consumer Sh ow s. The Daytona Boat Sh ow will include all makes and models from 12 local boat dealerships, Mr. Kielhurn said. I nterior designer Krista W atterworth, star of HGTV shows Save My Bath and S plurge and Save, will make special guest appearances throughout the w eekend to conduct seminars and meet with visitors. The first Home & Garden Sh ow produced by East C oast Consumer Shows in D aytona Beach last September attracted more than 16,000 visitors to the Oc ean Center, a record compared to an average attendance of 5,000 for similar events, Mr. Kielhurn said. He expects the spring show to be even larger. W e do a lot more advertising than other shows, he explained, crediting a combination of television, r adio and print advertising for attracting the large number of visitors. This y ear were spending more money advertising the show than last year and have more sponsors, and we r e bringing in a very popular Home & Garden celebrity. Mr. Kielhurn, who also manages similar shows twice a year in Orlando, is already planning the next fall show, set for Aug. 24. W e are very excited about joining with the Daytona Boat Show again, as all of our exhibitors and consumers have raved about it.

VOL USIA COUNTY On any given day, its not unusual for a natural disaster to occur here in Florida. New infectious diseases, hurricanes, fires, floods and other public health threats can emerge at any moment and leave Florida residents vulnerable. The Volusia County Health D epartment was recently certified as Project Public Health R eady by meeting the r equired comprehensive preparedness benchmarks. Project Public Health Ready is a partnership between the N ational Association of C ounty and City Health Officials or NACCHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I would like to thank our preparedness team for this huge accomplishment. This r ecognition reflects tremendous effort, dedication, and cooperation on the part of our employees and community partners, said Dr. Bonnie J. Sorensen, director of the Vo lusia County Health D epartment. This certification means we can protect our community from public health threats. F lorida was the first state to coordinate this national public health program at the statewide level and encourages all of its county health departments to participate. To date, more than 30 Florida counties have received Project Public Health Ready r ecognition. N AC CHO commends the Vo lusia County Health D epartment for being a model of public health emergency preparedness, said executive director Robert P estronk. The public health system is making great strides thanks to the good work of leaders in local public health preparedness in Volusia C ounty. Pr oject Public Health R eady identifies planning, training, and exercise needs and structures assessment and documentation of emergency response capacities and capabilities. Its comprehensive framework can configure efforts to enhance staff proficiency and confidence in responding to emergencies, both public health and non-public health related. This is just the beginning and we will continue to improve our ability to quickly and effectively respond to any public health crisis in V olusia County, said Dr. B onnie J. Sorensen. Our community is counting on us to keep them safe and we will. The mission of PPHR is to protect the publics health and increase the public health infrastructure. The key issue for planning is that were all in this together, said Charlie Craig, director of Volusia County Emergency Management. We need each other and we have to come together and integrate our plans so that we know what we can rely on each other for. The Volusia County Health D epartment has hands-on experience in emergency preparedness. With its major v accination campaign for the H1N1 virus in 2009, the health department was able to distribute a large number of vaccinations to the community. In 2007, a major tornado swept across Central Florida on Ground Hogs Day striking the DeLand Health Center on W oodland Boulevard, destroying it. Health department senior leaders worked quickly to re-direct clients to other locations with little impact on services.

The people who pay have to pick up the slack for the people who dont, she said. Sl eepy Hollow was built in the 1970s and deeded to all homeowners residing in the neighborhood, Ms. Teta said. S ubdivisions in the area deeded in the 1970s such as D eep Forest, Cambridge Villas, and Foxboro are facing problems similar to Sleepy H ollow. At the time these developments were first deeded, Ms. Teta said, the deeds did not stipulate mandatory association dues. I t was never set in stone they (homeowners) had to pay dues, she said. A homeowners association is defined in current F lorida Statutes as a Florida corporation responsible for the operation of a community or a mobile home subdivision ... in which membership is a mandatory condition of parcel ownership, and which is authorized to impose assessments (dues) that, if unpaid, may become a lien on the parcel. What homeowners in S leepy Hollow have to pay is not a large amount compared to other HOAs in town that offer similar amenities, she added. S till, the dues could be lower possibly half of what it costs now for Ms. Teta and her neighbors if people contributed their fair share. I t could probably be $75 a year, Ms. Teta said. But people dont want to pay. The tent will be removed this week after it was cited for a city code violation.

some of her wealth from her first marriage and acquired the rest with second husband W .A. Williams, who was also w ell known in the Greater D aytona Beach community. Mr. Williams was a carpenter and teacher at Campbell Str eet High School. He helped build New Bethel AME Church in Ormond Beach where Rev. Brinkley would end up pastor later in his life. Re v. Br inkleys first wife was W illie Lee Gant, the owner of the Gypsy Tea Room, a popular restaurant patronized by many well-to-do black residents as well as celebrities like boxing great Joe Louis. Re v. Br inkley would eventually become good friends with Albert Bethune, the grandson and adopted son of Dr Mary McLeod Bethune. It was through Rev. Brinkleys friendship with Mr. B ethune that he was noticed by Dr Bethune. S he asked me, How would y ou like to be a deputy? I am tired of the harassment my girls are getting going downtown, Mr. Brinkley said. B ethune Cookman College was located on what was at the time called Second Av enue. Mr. Brinkley said another r eason Dr. Bethune asked him to be a deputy was because he was an exmarine and prize fighter. Re v. Br inkley said he was on the card for the last boxing exhibition featuring Joe Louis that took place in D aytona Beach at Memorial Stadium. In 1952, Rev. Brinkley would become the first fulltime black deputy sheriff in V olusia County under Sheriff James Tucker. Mr. Tucker was elected to only one term in 1951. He was not re-elected four y ears later because he hired Re v. Br inkley and other black deputies, Mr. Brinkley said. Re v. Br inkley remembered an editorial in the D aytona Beach News-Journal at the time saying if he arrested white people he would be fired. This upset Dr. Bethune and she called a meeting with S heriff Tucker. He assured her it was not true. M y rules are anybody who violates the law, (Brinkley) can arrest, Sheriff Tucker told Dr. Bethune. Re v. Br inkley was asked to be a pallbearer at Dr. Bethunes funeral in 1955. He says he is the only one still living. After quitting the sheriffs department, having reached the rank of Sergeant, Rev. Br inkley would start his career in the maintenance department in 1958 at the D aytona Beach Housing A uthority. He would retire 40 y ears later as the agencys CEO and executive director. S ince being ordained a minister in 1948, Rev. Brinkley, while working other jobs, would also pastor at several African Methodist Episcopal churches in Port Orange, B unnell, Sanford, Merritt I sland and Altamonte Spr ings. H is longest stint as a pastor would be at New Bethel AME Church in Ormond Beach from 1982 until he retired from preaching in 1995. Re v. Br inkley was called out of retirement in February 1999 to preach at Mt. Zion AME in DeLand for a few y ears. He says the reason he was called to so many churches is because he was known as a r ebuilder and boasted that he left all his churches in good standing. I dont feel one would not have me back, Rev. Brinkley said. Ms. Grant died during the marriage and Rev. Brinkley married his second wife Emma Jones in October 1987. H is home is filled with more than 200 certificates, plaques and other honorarium. Though he has been recognized by many groups and organizations both locally and nationally Rev. Brinkley said he is most proud of the work he does as a minister. This is my most gratifying position, he said. I am still able to help my people by spreading the Word.

And remember, just because its online doesnt mean its true! Fr om sfgate.com: D eputy:Alleged cat eater had carcass in kitchen It was the sound of a wailing cat that first caught the neighbors attention. When she looked toward the sound she told authorities that she saw her next-door neighbor cutting off the crying felines head with a knife. The call she subsequently made to deputies started a bizarre animal cruelty investigation that has focused attention from around the country on a working-class neighborhood in a Bakersfield suburb where a man allegedly was fileting cats and cooking them on his backyard barbecue. Ive been getting calls on this from around the country, Ke rn C ounty Sheriffs spokesman Ray Pruitt said. F or some reason when somebody hurts animals people are more outraged than they are for a lot of other cases. Investigators decided to release new details on Thursday because of the nationwide interest in the case. Jason Wilmert, 35, will be arraigned Friday on charges alleging animal cruelty and using a pet or domesticated animal for food. Both are misdemeanors. A neighbor told KBAK-TV that she had seen Wilmert with a wailing tabby cat cutting it down the back with a knife, then decapitating it. She turned away in disgust and called sheriffs deputies. Pruitt said that when deputies arrived that morning at Wilmerts home they talked to other neighbors, who said they had heard the sounds of screaming cats coming from the house in Oildale. When he didnt answer his door, Pruitt said a deputy walked down the driveway and saw a cats head in the backyard. Later W ilmert came outside and deputies arrested him. When they searched his house they found a cat carcass in the kitchen sink, as if were being prepped for cooking. D eputies also found an animal trap in the driveway. We dont know if he was using the trap to catch cats, but he had one, Pruitt said. N obody has called in reporting missing pets, and investigators suspect the victims were strays.

Harris says the township didnt put it up but is trying to resolve the matter.

www.HometownNewsOL.com F riday, February 24, 2012 A13Po rt Orange/Ponce Inlet So. Daytona/Daytona Beach Shores 015270 684321 Stetson walks lightly when it comes to carbon emissionsDELAND In five years, S tetson University has traveled one-third of the way toward completely eliminating its carbon footprint. S ince the college started gauging its emissions in 2007, the school has r educed its carbon consumption by 29 percent. Al Allen, Stetsons associate vice president for facilities management, said its a natural goal for any university to lead by example. H aving a natural r esources challenge in front of us is something we should take a leadership r ole in, he said. The position of the university is to enhance the quality of daily life everywhere, so part of our mission is to teach people, to broaden their horiz ons; their understanding. The school has succeeded thus far by changing the way it operates and encouraging students to do the same, Mr. Allen said. One of the most recent improvements involves the installation in December of solar paneling on the roof of the Hollis Fitness Center to heat water for the swimming pool there. N ot only can the outdoor pool be open year-round, said Jessica Stark, coordinator of campus recreation, but it can do so in an envir onmentally sensitive way. W e teach students to be the best person they can be, she said, so its nice that we can be the best business we can be too. M anning the front desk of the fitness center recently was freshman Erica Lazzano, who took pride in her schools mission. I t makes an overall positive impression, she said about the green mindset. Y ou feel like youre going to a school that doesnt just care about the money. The fitness center improvements are one example of many. The school has replaced inefficient lighting and electric ballasts all over campus, added heat-reducing film to most windows, installed surge protectors and even turned off the hot water used for washing clothes in r esidence halls. N one of our students have objected so far, Mr. Allen said. Most laundry detergents today work very w ell in cooler water anyway. The college also has r eplaced a gas-run public safety vehicle with an electric model, swapped out fuel-burning utility vehicles with diesel models, and switched to more organic fertilizers and cleaner-burning mowers. A carbon-reduction plan includes taking advantage of technologies, investing in conservation efforts and its about changing behavior, Mr. Allen said. T ony Abbott, director of S tetsons environmental sciences program, has been having students compile surveys and data every two y ears since the school started performing the carbon inventory in 2007, a r equirement for membership in the American College and University Presidents Climate C ommitment. F or us, it seems the best thing to do is eliminate waste anywhere we can see it, Professor Abbott said. W e can actually look at how much energy were using and determine how much less were using every y ear. Thats a concrete step. The goal is worthy, he said, since carbon emissions are the major greenhouse gas blamed for global warming. But that doesnt mean he doesnt have other targets. As an environmental scientist, Im excited to see people looking for ways to conserve energy and r educe their global climate change impact, he said. B ut its somewhat disconcerting that carbon has become the one pollutant, as opposed to looking at other things like nuclear energy. I think people in J apan would take issue with the idea that nuclear energy is truly clean. As the school moves forward, putting more envir onmentally friendly technology in place will to become economically feasible. The low-hanging fruit is always easy and sweet and r equires little effort, he said. But money is not available for a massive r ethinking of our institution like it has been for colleges like Harvard or Yale. They can invest 30 years into the future and not worry about returns. We have to worry about r eturns over two or three y ears on the horizon. Mr. Allen said hes constantly on the lookout for new technology with the appropriate return in savings. S olar proposals may not be financially attractive today, as far as returns on investment, he said, but when they become financially attractive, well make that happen too. We want to continue to reduce our carbon footprint. By Dan Harkinsdharkins@hometownnewsol.com

Daytona Playhouse Ihope everybody has been enjoying the wonderful weather we have been experiencing the past few days. It is just a reminder that spring is not far off. Why not start the season out right with a unique plant called So ciety Garlic? M any of us use garlic as a supplement along with our daily vitamin but not many of us think of planting garlic in our gardens society garlic, that is. Society garlic is not r eally garlic at all. Its only similarity to real garlic is that it is a member of the lily (Alliaceae) family. So ciety garlic can create a splash of purple color that can accent any garden or landscape. It looks best when it is planted in groups but it can also used as a border around larger trees and shrubs. One of the most distinctive aspects of the plant is the smell. They smell just like garlic cloves. Although they are fragrant almost any time of day, the fragrance is strongest at night. S ociety garlic plants are easy to grow and will grow w ell in well-drained, light sandy soil. They will tolerate full sun to partial shade, but they will r equire regular watering during the hot summer months. Dividing them as they multiply can easily propagate the plants. I have read from some sources that the plants are edible, but I probably would not recommend eating them. It is best to use them as an ornamental plant. I have also been told that they deter moles, but I have no actual proof of that. If anybody experiments with that, please let me know if you had positive results with the experiment. I almost forgot to mention one other added bonus, the plant is a perennial and it blooms from spring to mid summer. If you grow hibiscus, one of the most annoying, and destructive pests are little critters called aphids. A phids are small softbodied insects that congregate mainly on tender new growth and also right around the bloom of the plant. These creatures feed in large colonies and can multiply quite rapidly. Aphids can often cause the leaves of ornamentals to curl up and the insects can hide in these curls, thus escaping the effects of insecticides. A phids do their damage by sucking life-sustaining juices from the plant making it weak and vulnerable to disease. S ince hibiscus are somewhat tender, you cannot use Malathion as an insecticide of choice as it will cause your plant to drop leaves. The best r emedy and protection is to use a systemic insecticide such as Orthene or Orthenex. Orthenex does double duty as it takes care of the pests and also helps with some diseases. Y ou can also use a rose and flower insect spray, but be sure aphids are listed as one of the insects it kills. Thats all for this weeks column and I hope you found the content useful and entertai ning.

H e just thought it was funny to r efer to to shallo w water as skinny S ometimes skinny water is called thin water but never fat water R ecently I told a fr iend that the water was so skinny that I couldn t even get thr ough with my kayak.

Hello smart shoppers. I r eceived an email from a reader attacking my suggestions regarding sell by and use by dates found on food products. I suggested y ou can use products past these dates. A ccording to the FDA they have nothing to do with dates, they are added by the manufacturer. Outside of baby formula and some forms of poultry the FDA has nothing to do with it. Using a product just past the dates and handling it properly they said it is hardly likely to do y ou harm except for boxed products such as baking mixes which must not be used past these dates. Good refrigeration, clean surfaces and hand washing must be observed. Dates are an indicator of quality rather than safety. Once a perishable product is frozen it doesnt matter if the date expires because foods kept frozen continuously are safe for long periods of time. If a product smells and looks good it is hardly likely to cause harm. I have been doing this for years and never had a problem. My suggestion is when in doubt, throw it out, it is your choice. F ebruary is Black History M onth, and before the month is gone, I must share some delicious recipes. When I previously wrote a r ecipe for black-eyed peas, I r eceived an email from a r eader with her family story and recipe. Sylvias Florida heritage goes back for generations, before Florida became a state. Although not black, her recipe is truly ethnic. I will include the r ecipe in Bessies Hoppin J ohn.

Served over r ice with a side of corn bread, it is rib-sticking and wonderful. Using ham instead of pork or bacon makes it low fat. 1 large package blackeyed peas 1/4-pound salt pork or bacon, cut up, or 1 ham hock or chunks of ham 1/2-teaspoon each of salt and pepper 1 large clove garlic and 1 large onion, chopped H ot sauce (optional) Co ver peas with cold water; discard any that float. Drain. P lace in pot, cover with water. Br ing to a boil, reduce heat and cook for two minutes. Co ver and let stand for one hour. NOTE: You can let peas soak in the pot overnight. This method removes most of the gas-producing properties. Dr ain peas and return to pot. Add the ham or salt pork, salt and pepper and about 11/2 cups water. Cover and cook for one hour. Add garlic, onion and a few dashes of hot sauce and cook until peas are tender. The gravy will be thick. Add more water if necessary. Se rv e over rice with corn bread.

What many people do not realize is that the PGA Tour has been about entertainment for many, many years now. The H onda Classic, to be played Feb. 27 to March 4 at PGA N ational Resort & Spa in Palm B each Gardens is one of the best examples of golf entertainment. Getting to see the best players in the world is the main form of entertainment for every spectator. With Tiger Wo ods commitment to play in the event, The Honda will feature eight of the top 10 players in the world, as well as three of last years four major champions and defending champ Rory Sabbatini. The field will be as deep and competitive as any weve seen this year. C ontrary to many opinions, the Tours best players enjoy a tough test of golf. On the Champion Course at PGA N ational, they will get just that. With thick rough, firm, and narrow fairways, well protected greens and the famous Bear Trap, the Champ consistently ranks in the top-five toughest courses the Tour plays each y ear. This year, tournament officials have decided to allow golfers the opportunity to distance themselves from the field or make up a few lost shots after tackling the Bear Tr ap by moving the tees up on the par-5 18th. The hole has been shortened by 50 yards, making reaching the green in two shots more likely and tempting the players with the possibility of making an eagle. Of course, with reward comes risk. The green is wellguarded by water and sand, meaning for every eagle, we could just as easily see a double-bogey or two. To make the spectators comfortable, there are numerous grandstands as w ell as concessions set up around the course. One of the most popular areas is near the par-3 17th hole. From there, y ou can watch every shot on the difficult 17th and see play on the 11th hole. This year the amount of hospitality space on this hole alone is 32,000 square-feet, with half of that being taken up by the FPL P avilion where general admission ticket holders may enjoy theatre seating, flat screen televisions, food and drinks, and even cool off in the FPL Mist Zone. The golf course isnt the only place to enjoy this event. When the sun goes down, the golf may be over, but the fun has just begun. While the grounds crews work on the course, preparing it for the next day, you may find y ourself sitting next to World No 2 Lee Westwood or Open Champion Darren Clark enjoying a cold beverage at iBar. The fun officially kicks off on Tuesday with the practice r ound. A Junior Golf Clinic will take place at 4 p.m., and K enny Gs pro-am party fills the evening with the pro-am taking place on Wednesday. Thursday marks the beginning of the competition. After a great day on the course, head over to the E issey Campus Theatre for An Evening with Kenny G. T ickets are $75, $95 and $125 with the proceeds benefiting tournament charities. After golf on Friday and S aturday, everyone can enjoy the After Play Concert on the Michelob ULTRA Terrace, and the Tire Kingdom/Yokahama Fireworks Spectacular. All during The Honda Classic there will be a Play Golf America Expo, the F amily Golf Challenge and the Kids Fun Zone. At the Fun Z one, players will stop after their round to sign autographs and meet their fans. The first 1,000 kids through the gates on Saturday will r eceive an oversize golf ball, great for collecting autographs. While the kids get to enjoy a great event, they arent the only ones being honored. Once again, The Honda Classic will pay tribute to active duty military, reservists, dependents and veterans with free admission throughout the event. These fine men and women and their families will have a covered 2,500square-foot hospitality deck on the 17th hole dedicated to their private use. On Saturday, the pin at the 17th will have an American F lag and military personnel will tend the flag throughout the day. I t s all about creating a diverse fan experience, says H onda Classic Executive Dir ector Ken Kennerly. We want to make sure we have a full day of activities for every member of the family. To b orrow a phrase from our military, Mission accomplished. D aily tickets start at $25 for Tuesday, $35 for Wednesday, and $45 for Thursday through Sunday.

4March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS Many Baby Boomers are facing an uncertain financial future. How to make sure you are not one of them. F or past generations of American workers, retirement may have begun with a cake, a gold watch and a joyful send-off from longtime co-workers before easing into a lifestyle funded by a company pension and Social Security. Things are different for todays Baby Boomers, who are facing retirement in a challenging economy and a less secure job market. Companies have discontinued pension benefits, and the future of Social Security is uncertain. This generation must make its own plans to fund retirement. I just think we all need to change our mindset, said r etiring teacher Lisa Miller of South Daytona. I didnt think there would ever be a drastic change in the economy. We enjoyed an affluent lifestyle compared to our parents. We thought with a pension and Social Security, our needs would be met. Ms. Miller always considered herself a saver, but enlisted the help of a financial planner about five years ago. The closer I got to retirement, I realized theres so many things out there, so many ways you can make your money work for you, she said.

5March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS The Brass Years just doesnt sound the same Pinching pennies was a practice at which our parents excelled. A product of the Great Depression, they learned how to stretch a dime and raise a family economically and efficiently. They were thrifty out of necessity and somehow made sure we had everything we needed to thrive. Ba by B oomers, however, as products of the post-war prosperity, tend to represent a generation of instantgratification. Now that many of us are depending on retirement incomes and/or Social Security benefits to pay the bills, we might be faced with some penny-pinching of our own. We may have the extra time to enjoy life but perhaps not the funds to do what we always envisioned during our socalled Golden Years. The Brass Years just doesnt sound the same, does it? They can still be fun, though. With a little work and a lot of spontaneity, we have been able to keep alive our dream of a retirement filled with travel. I have found that last minute deals can be easy on the budget as long as one is willing to being open to a new, and maybe unplanned, adventure. Being flexible and spontaneous not only keeps us young, but can shave dollars off the cost of a cruise, hotel stay or car rental. Being computer savvy helps as there are many alternative ways to find lodging other than your typical hotel stay. If y ou are not averse to cleaning up after yourself without daily housekeeping making your beds, a viable option is Airbnb.com or VRBO.com; the latter acronym stands for Vacation Rentals by Owner. On a recent trip to New York City, we opted for a third floor walkup in trendy Harlem at a rate of only $110 per night, versus the usual $300-$400 for a full-service hotel in Manhattan. Not only was the neighborhood safe and quiet but we had a full kitchen with the option to cook for ourselves if we chose, saving even more money. This choice also enabled us to feel more like a native of the city without the hustle and bustle of the tourist centers. Thinking out of the box when choosing a destination can provide a w elcome surprise as happened when we traded houses a few years back in upstate Vermont during the middle of winter. At the time we were not under the time constraints we are now so opted for a two-month house swap, putting us in the middle of snow drifts, blizzards and a winter wonderland while our hosts wiled away the hours down here on the beach, enjoying balmy temps. Having grown up in Florida, those months proved to be a treat as my husband taught me the joys of spending afternoons sledding and laughing hysterically after consistently losing my footing on ice covered surfaces. No bones we re broken but I have a newfound r espect for those who deal with these potential hazards every year. Having the luxury of putting another log on the fire and watching nature at its most glorious was something I will never forget. And all it cost was the drive up and back and some spending money. Of course, we will be forever known to the residents of the little town of Jeffersonville as those LIFE IN THE MI DDLESUSAN YOUNG See BRASS, Page 13 1873 N.

or her financial future. Donna Higbee, a financial adviser with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in Ormond Beach, said the biggest mistake she sees Baby B oomers making is putting off retirement planning, thinking, Its been a crazy couple of years. Im going to put that off for now. The second thing I notice, and its completely understandable, but people have gone very conservative, Ms. H igbee said. People are in a wait and see mode, but they still want to r etire in five years. M any Boomers have preconceived notions about retirement planning, and may think that because they suffered losses in recent years that they wont be able to retire, Ms. Higbee said. changed what your retirement will look like. It doesnt mean y ou cant retire. It just means you have to plan for it, she said. Ms. Higbee said she now spends more time educating clients and running through various scenarios with them. W e say, What is it that youre looking for? When do you want to retire? What does retirement look like to y ou? R etirement planning begins with deciding when the client wants to r etire, she said. Y ou really work backward, she said. Clients must make decisions about the lifestyle they want to maintain after retirement. Then we put a pen to paper and determine how much the client will need to save in the years leading up to retirement. P eople who are nearer to retirement age need to take a much closer look at their spending habits, Ms. Higbee said. However, saving for retirement doesnt have to mean you have to give up golf altogether. I f youre planning on retirement, y ou need to think about the fact that y ou have expensive hobbies and that y ou want to travel, and you plan for inflation, she said. If you put it in the plan, its not so much an issue. Ms. Higbee said that Boomers saving for retirement should look for money-saving strategies to help them enjoy their favorite activities while still meeting their goals. I n a challenging economy, everybody has to look at their priorities when it comes to spending and saving. I clip coupons. Im willing to golf at two oclock in the afternoon in order to get cheaper cart fees. Ms. Miller said she didnt worry too much about shopping around for deals before she began planning for r etirement. Now, she is a bargain hunter. I didnt think I would have to worry about having to pay for my insurance, she said. Im going to have to do without some things because Im going to have to pay $700 a month for my insurance. When her auto insurance premiums recently increased, Ms. Miller spent a lot of time comparisonshopping before deciding on a new policy that saved her about $100 a year. A hundred dollars a year makes a big difference, she said. In the process of insurance shopping, she learned of various discounts that would be available to her as a retiree. I didnt know that there were deals for retirees. I didnt think about all that stuff. Now thats the kind of thing that I think about. Ms. Miller said she used to travel three or four times a year but now plans just one trip. She does her own nails instead of going to a salon, clips coupons, and when it comes to clothes, she said, I dont buy anything thats not on sale. S he watches movies on Netflix instead of going to the theater, has the most basic cell phone plan, and has cut back on eating out. Y et she doesnt feel deprived, she said. I think everyone has to look over their personal priorities and decide where y ou can cut, and these were the things that I could do without, she said. I can buy clothes on sale and get compliments just like I paid full price. Though she used to eat out three times a week, Ms. Miller said that now, Eating out is more of a treat, and I enjoy it more because it is a 7March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWSF utureFrom page 4 See FUTURE, Page 11 If youre planning on retirement, you need to think about the fact that you have expensive hobbies and that you want to travel, and you plan for inflation.

9March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS Even hippies gotta worry about money It was a little confusing for me to watch our peace and love generation morph into our parents. We had pledged to each other that we could make the planet a better place by avoiding the 9-to-5 rat race that had ensnared our hapless parents. We vowed that the pursuit of the almighty dollar would never be a part of our future. N ot us. We would spend our time hanging out with friends, smoking Mother Nature and listening to cool music. It was all to be so idyllic and pastoral. Our very own take on living the good life. Then it happened. Z AP! R eality hit like a lightning bolt. College money dried up and our parents cut us loose. We had no choice but to take our two years of Poly-Sci or our philosophy degree out into the workplace and try to turn them into cash. It proved to be very difficult. Y et, when we did go to work, we excelled like none before us. The post war generation authored an explosion of new and exciting ideas that carry us till this day. Technology would be our gift to the world. While we were doing that, however, we ignored one basic fact: Our country was built on hard work. The kids who went to S an Francisco with flowers in their hair had no interest in doing the mundane labor that carries this great nation. Ours was a larger, more ethereal (and less physically demanding) calling. At least that was how we perceived it. As for me, I found out that once I married my little hippie girlfriend a whole lot of r esponsibility was part of the deal. When the kids came along forget about it I had no choice but to immerse myself in the work that would provide the cash to sustain us. It was amazing how fast my ideals began to conform. My peace sign quickly turned into a Mercedes emblem. In my younger days I had searched for the perfect high, but now my goal was the perfect mutual fund. The horror! The changes were insidious. As the years passed I didnt even realize that my interest in the R olling Stones had been replaced by my worry over kidney stones. I had started out protesting against the man and now I was the man. R unning a business, raising children, paying a mortgage and fretting about my federal income taxes. When I looked into the mirror I could no longer see the long-haired kid who lounged away his days playing harmonica in the park at Haight Ashbury. B ack then I had been concerned about mans injustice to man, but now my problems were personal.

11March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS treat. Ev en with a retirement plan in place, Sydney and Stephen Nash of D eLand found themselves having to make adjustments in their spending due to the economy. Ms. Nash left her bookkeeping job in 2000 to take care of Mr. Nashs parents, while he continued working as a foreman for an energy company until retiring in 2003. He continued working as a consultant until 2009, when the company he was working for cut back on consultants. The Nashes then began drawing from their retirement plan. The couple lost money in the stock market, decreasing their dividend income significantly, while their health insurance increased by $700 a month. I t s been over a period of nine y ears, but still, seven hundred dollars just to see your retirement going down, Ms. Nash said. The Nashes have adapted to their situation by adjusting their retirement lifestyle, cutting back in areas such as travel and eating out. L uckily, we had taken a big vacation, Ms. Nash said of a post-retirement drive across the United States. That was our dream vacation we had prepared for, but our vacations now are shorter times, fewer days and not as expensive as before. We used to go for 10 days. Now its five or six days, and not as many times a year. R estaurant meals were a major cutback. W e used to go out to eat three times a week. Now we go out three times a month, she said. The couple, who live in a rural area, have cut back on trips to town and now When we go into town, we get everything done, Ms. Nash said. Mr. N ash owns a plane but flies it less often due to fuel costs. They have also cut back on grocery bills, gifts and other shopping. I havent been to the mall in probably over a year, Ms. Nash said. How ever, the Nashes have been able to enjoy their retirement in a house on a river with a pool and a boat. Really, all in all, we dont miss anything we cut back on. We dont feel deprived, thats for sure, she said, attributing their comfortable lifestyle to working within their retirement plan. If yo u re a Baby Boomer approaching retirement, the sooner you can cut expenses and repay debt, the easier the transition will be, according to J ane Bryant Quinn, personal finance expert and author of Making the M ost of Your Money NOW. In a recent AARP bulletin entitled Financial Plan B eats Panic Every Time, Ms. Bryant r ecommended that pre-retirees think about where they might find parttime work after retirement. Downsizing your housing expenses is another possible money-saving measure, even if you dont get the price you want for y our house. Y our living arrangements should follow your budget and needs, not y our dream of a better price next y ear, Ms. Bryant said. If yo u re still having trouble motiva ting yourself toward retirement planning, try a few mind tricks. Mark P atterson, Baby Boomer and author of The Failsafe Retirement System, offered these strategies in an On R etirement column at money.usnews.com: B efore making a discretionary purchase, convert the dollar cost into personal time. The closer we get to retirement, the more we become aware that our time is limited, Mr. Patterson said. Knowing how many hours you will have to work to pay for that $100 gadget will make you wonder if you r eally need it. Add the money to your nest egg instead. Another strategy Mr. Patterson recommends is thinking of a fun thing y ou want to do when you retire, such as travel, and determine the amount of the fund youll need to fund it. Thats a specific and motivating goal that you should think about when you forgo an expense today, Mr. Patterson said. Whether youre a disciplined saver or have to resort to mind tricks, having a retirement plan doesnt mean y ou have to give up everything you enjoy from now until retirement. I t s never an absolute, Ms. Higbee said. Its a working plan thats fluid. It all depends on the clients priorities.F utureFrom page 7 685139

The guy who wanted to change the world was reduced to hunting down the best early bird special. M ost of the time I remained optimistic that my financial situation would change for the better and I would soon be back on my feet. In reality, if I didnt come up with a car payment I would be on my feet soon enough. As tight as money was I remember how shot down I was when the girl at McDonalds gave me a senior discount on a cup of coffee. Me? A senior? I had to bite my tongue to keep from telling her where to put that discount. I was only 55. Still, once I calmed down, I had to admit that my dreams of a smoothr unning BMW had now become dreams of a smooth-running BM. Now when I heard the name Grateful Dead, an image of Dr. Ke vorkian would pop into my mind. It was just awful. Now, as a semi-retired individual, I am happy to receive a check from the same government that I once wanted to overthrow.

14March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS D eciding whom to designate as a beneficiary for your IRA might seem like an easy decisionyou probably want your money to go to someone near and dear to you. But is the person (or people) youre thinking of actually named as the beneficiary on the particular IRA you opened all those years ago? To be certain, its wise to review your beneficiary designation form every few years, or whenever youve had a change in circumstances, such as a birth of a child or grandchild or change in marital status. Keep in mind that a will or trust does not ov erride this form, or the IRA document itself (which may have default beneficiary designations that control even if no beneficiary designation is on file), unless you name your estate or trust as your beneficiary. Because beneficiary designations are important estate-planning documents, you may want to review them with your attorney. Y ou have the option of naming primary and contingent beneficiaries. The primary beneficiary is your first choice to receive your retirement benefits and can be more than one person or entity. If you choose more than one primary beneficiary, you may specify a percentage to be paid to each person and indicate whether a beneficiarys share will be void if he or she predeceases you or if that share will pass to his or her children. A contingent beneficiary is someone y ou designate to receive your IRA only if all primary beneficiaries predecease you, pass away at the same time as you or disclaim their rights to the IRA assets. It s important to note that distributions from an IRA may have tax consequences for your beneficiaries. While taxes shouldnt be the primary determining factor in naming your beneficiaries, ignoring the impact of taxes could have significant consequences for your family. R emember to look at your IRA assets in context with the rest of your estate before making any decisions. To help ensure that your wishes can be executed as you intended, discuss your beneficiary designations, wills and other estate matters with your tax and legal advisors and other members of your advisory team. A Primary Beneficiaries Primer When naming a primary beneficiary, some designations to be familiar with are all my children, per stirpes and per capita. Terminology and definitions may vary from state to state, however, so you should consult with an attorney before making a final decision. P er Stirpes: Also known as rights of r epresentation in some states, per stirpes means that the children of a beneficiary who predeceases you will share equally in the portion of your IRA originally left to the now-deceased child.P er Capita: This method divides your IRA assets among your beneficiaries and the descendants of any beneficiary who dies before you. For example, if you name your three daughters as your primary beneficiaries and one of them dies before you, each of her own three children will receive a share equal to that of your other two daughterssplitting the IRA into five equal parts. In addition, remember that being precise is better than being vague or general. For example, its not uncommon for people to name All My Children on a form. How ever, the better practice is to list, in fact, the children being designated, and then decide if their share is held per capita (meaning if the child dies before y ou, your IRA assets will be divided among your surviving children, with the remaining children sharing equally) or per stirpes (meaning that your deceased childs children will receive the shares).Articles are published for general information purposes and are not an offer or a solicitation to sell or buy any securities or commodities.

D uring his era, he should be considered one of the most distinguished leaders in Daytona Beach and a force to be reckoned with on issues that impacted the AfricanAmerican community. Re v. Br inkley was born in 1925 and grew up in Newark, N.J., where he was one of few black students attending the integrated Central Av enue Elementary and Junior High schools. In 1942, shortly after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Rev. Brinkley, at 16, lied about his age and enlisted in the United States Marines on the cusp of World War II. I believed our enemy was Japan and I was only another American that wanted to serve my country, Mr. Brinkley said as to why he enlisted. Their (whites) problems were my problems. My friends were going. We went to the theater seeing the ships being blown up. I was the first to enlist. Re v. Br inkley would eventually end up at Camp Lejeune in North Ca r olina where he would get his first taste of Southern segregation. In 1948, Rev. Brinkley came to D aytona Beach at age 23 to help his ailing grandparents. While many blacks at the time we re headed North, fleeing the S outh because of discrimination and segregation, Rev. Brinkley did the opposite. After arriving here he got his call to be a preacher. I t was three oclock in the morning, Rev. Brinkley said. The spirit said go preach my gospel. Re v. Br inkleys grandparents were w ell off compared to most black and many white residents. H is grandmother, Liza BrinkleyW illiams, was the only black woman in town, other than her friend, Mary M cLeod Bethune, founder of B ethune-Cookman University, who o wned her own car. Mrs. Brinkley-Williams inheritedBy James HarperF or Hometown News See PA ST OR, A11HOA board occupies Port Orange neighborhoodPORT ORANGE The Occupy movement has come to town, but the protests are not about Wall St reet. S ome residents of the Sleepy H ollow subdivision are using the global movement that protests economic and social inequality as a creative way to encourage neighbors to pay their homeowners association dues because some of their neighbors arent paying. The Sleepy Hollow Recreation Associations board of directors have set up an Occupy Sleepy Hollow tent on the left hand side of the neighborhood entrance, just outside the tennis courts. Alan Titkemeier, the boards treasurer, came up with the idea of O ccupy Sleepy Hollow to bring attention to the neighborhoods issue of homeowners not paying their dues and to make it relevant to the news of the day. That was our attempt to make it visible to the homeowners (who dont pay their dues), he said, and also for those who pay (to say) we appreciate you paying, this is our protest on behalf of you. N ext to the tent is a miniature American flag, a beach chair, a cooler, and a log decorated with r ed lights that light up at night to r esemble a campfire. Mr. Titkemeier said the site started out with just a tent and an O ccupy Sleepy Hollow sign, but board members kept adding to it to look like someone camped out there to protest. E choing a common sentiment heard in the Occupy protests, Sl eepy Hollows board of directors wants all homeowners to pay their fair share. Sl eepy Hollow, a two-acre neighborhood located on Nova Road, has 175 homeowners. On average, 70 of them dont pay their annual dues, said Carol Teta, vice president of Sleepy Hollows board of directors. Ms. Teta said the amount of nonpayers fluctuates. S ometimes they (homeowners) dont give me a check until I ask them, she said. D ues are $150 a year and pay for the common grounds, the pool, and the tennis courts, Ms. Teta said. While standing outside the tennis courts on a recent afternoon, Ms. Teta, who was also one of the subdivisions first homeowners, said all residents should be held r esponsible for maintaining the appearance of the neighborhood. Who do you think mows the lawn? she said. You think a lawn mowing genie goes out and does it? S ome of the non-paying residents are in rough financial situations, but others have the ability to pay and choose not to, she said.

She will serve as Volusia Countys T eacher of the Year throughout this school year and next, representing all of V olusias teachers. Mrs. Birney received her award before an audience of 900 friends of public education at the Hilton Daytona B each Oceanfront Resort on Fr iday, Feb. 10, 2012.The announcement was made at a celebration co-hosted by FUTURES Foundation and the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce. O ne of the most important goals of the FUTURES F oundation is to serve and to support our innovative, amazing teachers who continue to work passionately every day on behalf of the students of Volusia County, said Bobby Thigpen, FUTURES Foundation President.Our Board and our Chamber feel strongly that our teachers deserve praise, v alidation and celebration as a special group of professionals. Mrs. Birney began her career with Volusia County Schools in 2008, after teaching for 30 years in New York. S he taught second and fourth grades at Freedom Elementary and then in 2011 moved to Citrus Grove where she took on a major r ole to help open the new school and now teaches fourth grade. Each student in Mrs. Birneys classroom is keeping a r ealistic passport for the y ear to document the places traveled as they make their way through the fourth grade reading textbook.Her class has even gone to the moon. In math, students use dry erase markers on their desktops to show their work, which they can quickly erase to correct a mistake. To celebrate a moment of pride, the class gives a silent cheer for a group, a roller coaster cheer for a classmates achievement or a dance for the whole class. H er students know that each child gains knowledge at different rates and they are always willing to help a hungry neighbor. Mrs. Birney believes one of the most satisfying ways to unite a classroom or school is to be involved in the community.She championed a new playground for her elementary school in N ew York.And last year, she worked with a group of volunteers for 10 months to design, build and paint sets and create costumes for 86 children to perform in B eauty and the Beast at the Athens Theatre in D eLand. A colleague described Mrs. Birney as having magical creativity, enthusiasm, motivation and love for children that is not only the glitter in their lives, but the sparkle for her school team. Mrs. Birney lives up to that expectation daily and says that people in her world know they can count on her to add sparkle to their lives. In addition to Mrs. Birney, four other teachers received special recognition as finalists: Kip Dickens-Best, 4th/5th grade, Pine Trail Elementary Heather H.

FREEV acuum015254 This Sunday, Daytona International Speedway will host 43 cars that r epresent the ultimate evolution of the sport of stock car racing. Mostly forgotten in the NASCAR family tree is the most formidable machine to ever r un in Volusia County. By 1928, the Worlds Land Speed R ecords that were set on our beach had become mostly a closed competition between two wealthy gentlemen from Great Britain. In 1927, Major H enry Segrave had become the first person to travel over 200 mph in his big Sunbeam Mystery S. Then in F ebruary of 1928, Captain Malcolm C ampbell had driven his Napier powered Bluebird to a new record of 206.9 mph. That same year the racing community was abuzz over the arrival of a huge untested machine that was being stored in the Ormond Garage. The Tr iplex was the brainchild of Philadelphia contractor Jim White. Although he had little experience in racing, Mr. White was determined to wrest the r ecord away from the Brits and return it to the United States. H is plan to attain the top speed was to build a car with more horsepower than had ever been attempted. On a heavy angle iron frame he had mounted three 1,000-horsepower Liberty Aircraft engines. One of the big power plants was out front of the driver and the other two directly behind him. At ov er 81,000 cubic inches, it was far and away the largest and most powerful car ever built. To drive the car Jim White hired famed Indianapolis racer Ray Keech. The daunting task of trying to synchronize the three engines went to local mechanic Lee Bible. D ay after day, Bible tuned the car and K eech would tear off down the beach. S oon the many practice runs began to take its toll on the battered driver. H eat, noise and vibration were his constant companion. By the time the car was ready for the record try K eechs hands and feet were heavily bandaged from the burns and he could hardly hear. S omehow he would hold it together for a two-way average of 207.9 mph on Apr il 22nd of 1928. That only eclipsed C ampbells mark by about a half mile but it was good enough to bring the r ecord back to the states. Keech was elated and took his sizable check and left town. Jim White was not quite so happy. He felt that his creation was capable of much greater speeds than K eech was able to achieve. Before his departure he told the press that he would return with the Triplex the following year. Sure enough, in the Spr ing of 1929 he was back with the improved Triplex. This time he had no driver because the word had gotten out about the severe beating Keech had taken. It was a ride no one was willing to take. W ith the sanctioned racing window r apidly closing, the job of driving the Tr iplex went to mechanic Lee Bible by default. Lee had moved his wife and daughter down to the Daytona Beach area from Eastern Tennessee in order to be a part of the great beach racing scene. Upon his arrival he had sadly discovered that the Worlds Land S peed record competition was a rich mans game. This would be his chance his only chance. The officials were skeptical of his ability to handle the big car and required him to make two qualifying runs. Once he had satisfied the judges he went to work trying to get the car running at its peak. As the days passed, Mr. White was growing more and more impatient. It did not help that on Mar ch 11 Maj. Segrave had raised the bar to an incredible 231.3 mph. Now B ible knew he would have to get all that he could from the car. F inally, on the morning of March 13, he was ready. Down the beach he r oared before a very large crowd of spectators. As he approached the finish line he must have smiled for the behemoth of a car was running perfectly. On the beach that day was Charles Straub, a newsreel photographer for the Pathe News Agency. W itnesses say that as Bible approached, the newsman inched closer and closer to the track. What happened next has long been debated. S ome say that the photographer tripped in the loose sand, while others claim that he was startled by the unexpected booming noise of the big car. Whatever the reason Charles Str aub stumbled into the path of the Tr iplex. Bible swerved to try and avoid him but could not. Straub was killed instantly. Bible struggled to keep the car out of the crowd as it went over and screamed down the beach on its side. When it finally came to a stop Ma j. S egrave rushed to the aid of the driver who had been ejected. There was nothing he could do. Lee Bible was dead. Segrave was so dejected that he never raced on the beach again. Jim White returned to Philadelphia and got out of racing. Of course the history of racing is littered with tragedy. The death of Lee B ible slowed the sport for a spell but could not stop it. In 1935, Sir Malcolm C ampbell would achieve the ultimate beach speed of 276 mph. in his B luebird and the following year the y oung Bill France would race in the first stock car race on the new beach/road course. This Sunday, as we enjoy the race at the speedway let us all stop to give thanks to Lee Bible and the many that have made the ultimate sacrifice for this great sport.The White Triplex: Triumph to tragedyLAND LINESD AN SMITH Ray Keech in the Triplex in 1928.

VOL USIA COUNTY The Volusia County Council r ecently decided to let the r esidents decide in November if honest-to-God slot machines, that take and give real money, should be allowed here. So rt of. The one-armed bandits have a long road to get down before they actually get to the voters. The Florida Senate has a bill that would allow counties voters to approve slot machines at places where pari-mutuel betting is allowed (such as the Daytona Beach Kennel Club). In order to take advantage of the provision, should it become law, counties had to figuratively stake the ground before the end of J anuary. But, at this writing, theres not a companion bill in the Florida House. Without that, the senate bill becomes just another lost legislative curiosity. If the house does take up the senates bill, and it passes both chambers (despite thick opposition from all quarters), it needs the governors signature. Again its a long road. O h, and then therell be the inevitable court challenges, according to the legal-types who know about these sorts of things. So if the Florida House and Senate and Governor and courts let voters decide whether they want slot machines at pari-mutuels, the Volusia County Council has tentatively agreed to move the ballot measure forward. If a recent Hometown N ews unscientific survey is a safe indicator, theres a good chance Volusia voters would approve slot machines, and visitors would use them. We asked r esidents: Would you vote to allow slot machines in V olusia County? Visitors were asked, Do you think voters should allow slot machines in V olusia County?

Unfortunately, this factor makes injuries on construction sites a common occurrence. Some worker injuries are very mild; however they can also range from moderate to severe, while some are even fatal. Causes of Work-Related Accidents Regulations exist for ensuring the safety and protection of workers and others who enter construction sites; however these are not fool proof for the prevention of serious injuries. Construction accident injuries may result from falls, falling objects, equipment malfunctions and other issues. Workers may also become injured by inhaling or coming into contact with dangerous chemicals or toxins, as well as incurring muscle strain from lifting objects or making repetitive movements. Finding Liability When someone becomes injured at a construction site, several people or entities may be r esponsible for damages sustained by the victim. Liable parties may include the owner of the site, equipment manufacturers, suppliers of building materials, contractors and others with a stake in or connections to the construction site or project. The parties found to be negligent in a construction accident case may be liable for medical bills, pain and suffering expenses and loss of income. In some cases, those liable may be forced to pay punitive damages, if malice or gross negligence is shown to have occurred. The Benefits of Hiring an Attorney If someone has been injured at a construction site or at a work setting in general, it may be beneficial to contact a personal injury attorney knowledgeable in areas of accident claims and workers compensation laws. This type of attorney can help an injured victim sort out the complexities of filing a claim and establishing liability for all who may be at fault.

So, yes indeed, watch your cats and kittens. I am tired of having my plants and watering system ruining by y our pets. They are also mating with the cats in the sewer system. Enough is enough. In response to: Watch your catsC ats are also being trapped in Sleepy Hollow. I have a cat. It is an indoor cat. Indoor cats can live to be 18 years old. Outdoor cats are lucky to make it to 6 years old. I am an avid bird watcher and bird feeder. I am tired of watching your cats take birds out of my yard. I am tried of watching them kill. So yes, I am trapping them and turning them over as well. If you are going to be a cat owner, be a responsible one. Quit smoking and buy new carsThis is a carrot in front of a stubborn donkey who wont quit smoking. D id you know an average couple who smokes spends $10 a day, $70 a week, $280 a month and $3,360 a year on their habit? In six years, that is $20,160. So every six years, if you quit smoking, you can buy y ourself a brand new car. That should be an incentive to get rid of that filthy habit thats killing you and killing thousands. Thank you.The less you make, the more you payI had to pay $100 to have my taxes done this year because I dont have a bunch of deductions. I cant deduct the cost of doing the taxes, which seems to be another attack on the people who make less money. The less you make, the more you have to pay.Pledge of AllegianceI pledged allegiance to the flag before the second W orld War. It was: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United S tates of America, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The God part was thrown in there later on. I dont know who did it.

B ut while the 1992 combo was a week apart, this time the race and the game are on the same day (Sunday, Feb 26). This should create a business boom even in hotels and resturants in west V olusia County, which usually gets just a modest boost from Speedweeks. The usual spike in hotel rates also could help push for more development of hotels in the area, especially along the beach. The area hotels need to show a sharp r ise, though, for the number crunchers to sign off on what has become an extremely expensive endeavor. The H ampton Inn under construction in New Smyrna B each, which is relatively small with 112 rooms, is a $16-million project. *** In another sort of racingr elated story, S unoco, which provides the racing fuel at D aytona International S peedway, has bought 11 convenience store/gas stations from First Coast Energy. Sunoco now has a station with signage for race fans to see adjacent to DIS. The Sunoco station locator now shows it with 28 sites in V olusia County 10 in D aytona Beach, three each in D eLand and Holly Hill, and one each in DeBary, DeLeon Sp ri ngs, Deltona, Edgewater, Lake Helen, New Smyrna B each, Oak Hill, Orange City, O steen, Ormond Beach, Ormond-by-the-Sea and S outh Daytona. No financial details of the deal were released, but maybe First Coast will use some of the money from the sales to renovate and reopen some of its vacant properties in the county. *** It could be good times, or not, for the Ormond Beach Airport Business Park with two new businesses moving there. Commercial Coating Pr os Co. has already leased 6 Aviator Way to move 15 workers there. Germ Free Laboratories is expanding its plant to accommodate building a new line of mobile environmental labs. Another unnamed existing business also wants to expand. How ever, two of the parks biggest tenants sunglasses maker Stylemark and C odeRed developer Emergency Communications N etworks have both been sold. The city is working on keeping the Stylemark plant there, but new owner FGX I nternational of Rhode I sland hasnt said what it plans to do.

The current Emergency O perations Center, 49 Keyton Drive, was built in 1976 and covers 9,000 square feet. It serves as the central command center for emergency response in Volusia C ounty. All public safety dispatching in Volusia County for law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services was consolidated last year into a unified system under the Sheriffs Office. The countys emergency dispatchers currently work out of two different centers. Sheriff Johnson said the new dispatch center will improve communications and make the system even more efficient.

H e clearly stood out on top, she said. When councilors considered whether or not to confirm Mr. Fabrizio, they were not swayed by media r eports of two incidents during his career with the Orange County Sheriffs Office. B oth the Daytona Beach N ews-Journal and the Orlando Sentinel reported Mr. Fabrizio was suspended in 2005 after his investigation of deputies involved in a high speed pursuit of a stolen car concluded that none of his deputies were r esponsible. The chase r esulted in the deaths of two innocent bystanders. S ources said Sheriffs Office officials considered the investigation flawed. B oth newspapers also r eported that Mr. Fabrizio was suspended again and demoted from major to captain in 2010 after leaking confidential information to his daughter about the then-active case of Edwin McFarlane, a teenager accused of trying to kidnap a child outside a department store in Orlando. His daughter posted the information on a blog. I dont put a lot of credence in that because I (believe) if you dont have an oops or two in your re sume, it just means youre not doing much, Councilman Scott Meacham said. The only concern councilors had was whether Mr. F abrizio would successfully adapt to a small town police force after spending nearly three decades in the big city. I dont think the town of P once Inlet resembles law enforcement in the Orlando area and I think it takes a special person to understand that and manage his approaches to the position so that its amicable but professional to a community such as this, Mr. M eacham said. Mr. Fabrizios resume stated that the Orange C ounty Sheriffs Office has 2,400 full time employees and a $180-million budget. P once Inlets police department has 14 full-time employees and a $1.2-million budget, according to the towns budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year. The incoming chief told councilors he is looking forward to the change of pace. I understand this is much, much different from where I come from, and I cant tell you how happy I am to get away from where I come from, he said. I know we have Disney (W orld) there, but we (also) have a lot of crime. Mr. Fabrizios swearing in ceremony will be held Ma rc h 5 at 4 p.m. at the To wn Council Chambers, 4300 South Atlantic Avenue. After a record-breaking debut in August, the Daytona Beach Home & Garden Show and Daytona B oat Show will return to the O cean Center March 2. The spring Home & Garden show will feature more than 200 exhibits that will display everything for in and around your home, as w ell as garden and landscape displays by area landscape designers, according to the shows manager, Dave Kielhurn of East Coast Consumer Sh ow s. The Daytona Boat Sh ow will include all makes and models from 12 local boat dealerships, Mr. Kielhurn said. I nterior designer Krista W atterworth, star of HGTV shows Save My Bath and S plurge and Save, will make special guest appearances throughout the w eekend to conduct seminars and meet with visitors. The first Home & Garden Sh ow produced by East C oast Consumer Shows in D aytona Beach last September attracted more than 16,000 visitors to the Oc ean Center, a record compared to an average attendance of 5,000 for similar events, Mr. Kielhurn said. He expects the spring show to be even larger. W e do a lot more advertising than other shows, he explained, crediting a combination of television, r adio and print advertising for attracting the large number of visitors. This y ear were spending more money advertising the show than last year and have more sponsors, and we r e bringing in a very popular Home & Garden celebrity. Mr. Kielhurn, who also manages similar shows twice a year in Orlando, is already planning the next fall show, set for Aug. 24. W e are very excited about joining with the Daytona Boat Show again, as all of our exhibitors and consumers have raved about it.

VOL USIA COUNTY On any given day, its not unusual for a natural disaster to occur here in Florida. New infectious diseases, hurricanes, fires, floods and other public health threats can emerge at any moment and leave Florida residents vulnerable. The Volusia County Health D epartment was recently certified as Project Public Health R eady by meeting the r equired comprehensive preparedness benchmarks. Project Public Health Ready is a partnership between the N ational Association of C ounty and City Health Officials or NACCHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I would like to thank our preparedness team for this huge accomplishment. This r ecognition reflects tremendous effort, dedication, and cooperation on the part of our employees and community partners, said Dr. Bonnie J. Sorensen, director of the Vo lusia County Health D epartment. This certification means we can protect our community from public health threats. F lorida was the first state to coordinate this national public health program at the statewide level and encourages all of its county health departments to participate. To date, more than 30 Florida counties have received Project Public Health Ready r ecognition. N AC CHO commends the Vo lusia County Health D epartment for being a model of public health emergency preparedness, said executive director Robert P estronk. The public health system is making great strides thanks to the good work of leaders in local public health preparedness in Volusia C ounty. Pr oject Public Health R eady identifies planning, training, and exercise needs and structures assessment and documentation of emergency response capacities and capabilities. Its comprehensive framework can configure efforts to enhance staff proficiency and confidence in responding to emergencies, both public health and non-public health related. This is just the beginning and we will continue to improve our ability to quickly and effectively respond to any public health crisis in V olusia County, said Dr. B onnie J. Sorensen. Our community is counting on us to keep them safe and we will. The mission of PPHR is to protect the publics health and increase the public health infrastructure. The key issue for planning is that were all in this together, said Charlie Craig, director of Volusia County Emergency Management. We need each other and we have to come together and integrate our plans so that we know what we can rely on each other for. The Volusia County Health D epartment has hands-on experience in emergency preparedness. With its major v accination campaign for the H1N1 virus in 2009, the health department was able to distribute a large number of vaccinations to the community. In 2007, a major tornado swept across Central Florida on Ground Hogs Day striking the DeLand Health Center on W oodland Boulevard, destroying it. Health department senior leaders worked quickly to re-direct clients to other locations with little impact on services.

The people who pay have to pick up the slack for the people who dont, she said. Sl eepy Hollow was built in the 1970s and deeded to all homeowners residing in the neighborhood, Ms. Teta said. S ubdivisions in the area deeded in the 1970s such as D eep Forest, Cambridge Villas, and Foxboro are facing problems similar to Sleepy H ollow. At the time these developments were first deeded, Ms. Teta said, the deeds did not stipulate mandatory association dues. I t was never set in stone they (homeowners) had to pay dues, she said. A homeowners association is defined in current F lorida Statutes as a Florida corporation responsible for the operation of a community or a mobile home subdivision ... in which membership is a mandatory condition of parcel ownership, and which is authorized to impose assessments (dues) that, if unpaid, may become a lien on the parcel. What homeowners in S leepy Hollow have to pay is not a large amount compared to other HOAs in town that offer similar amenities, she added. S till, the dues could be lower possibly half of what it costs now for Ms. Teta and her neighbors if people contributed their fair share. I t could probably be $75 a year, Ms. Teta said.

some of her wealth from her first marriage and acquired the rest with second husband W .A. Williams, who was also w ell known in the Greater D aytona Beach community. Mr. Williams was a carpenter and teacher at Campbell Str eet High School. He helped build New Bethel AME Church in Ormond Beach where Rev. Brinkley would end up pastor later in his life. Re v. Br inkleys first wife was W illie Lee Gant, the owner of the Gypsy Tea Room, a popular restaurant patronized by many well-to-do black residents as well as celebrities like boxing great Joe Louis. Re v. Br inkley would eventually become good friends with Albert Bethune, the grandson and adopted son of Dr Mary McLeod Bethune. It was through Rev. Brinkleys friendship with Mr. B ethune that he was noticed by Dr Bethune. S he asked me, How would y ou like to be a deputy? I am tired of the harassment my girls are getting going downtown, Mr. Brinkley said. B ethune Cookman College was located on what was at the time called Second Av enue. Mr. Brinkley said another r eason Dr. Bethune asked him to be a deputy was because he was an exmarine and prize fighter. Re v. Br inkley said he was on the card for the last boxing exhibition featuring Joe Louis that took place in D aytona Beach at Memorial Stadium. In 1952, Rev. Brinkley would become the first fulltime black deputy sheriff in V olusia County under Sheriff James Tucker. Mr. Tucker was elected to only one term in 1951. He was not re-elected four y ears later because he hired Re v. Br inkley and other black deputies, Mr. Brinkley said. Re v. Br inkley remembered an editorial in the D aytona Beach News-Journal at the time saying if he arrested white people he would be fired. This upset Dr. Bethune and she called a meeting with S heriff Tucker. He assured her it was not true. M y rules are anybody who violates the law, (Brinkley) can arrest, Sheriff Tucker told Dr. Bethune. Re v. Br inkley was asked to be a pallbearer at Dr. Bethunes funeral in 1955. He says he is the only one still living. After quitting the sheriffs department, having reached the rank of Sergeant, Rev. Br inkley would start his career in the maintenance department in 1958 at the D aytona Beach Housing A uthority. He would retire 40 y ears later as the agencys CEO and executive director. S ince being ordained a minister in 1948, Rev. Brinkley, while working other jobs, would also pastor at several African Methodist Episcopal churches in Port Orange, B unnell, Sanford, Merritt I sland and Altamonte Spr ings. H is longest stint as a pastor would be at New Bethel AME Church in Ormond Beach from 1982 until he retired from preaching in 1995. Re v. Br inkley was called out of retirement in February 1999 to preach at Mt. Zion AME in DeLand for a few y ears. He says the reason he was called to so many churches is because he was known as a r ebuilder and boasted that he left all his churches in good standing. I dont feel one would not have me back, Rev. Brinkley said. Ms. Grant died during the marriage and Rev. Brinkley married his second wife Emma Jones in October 1987. H is home is filled with more than 200 certificates, plaques and other honorarium. Though he has been recognized by many groups and organizations both locally and nationally Rev. Brinkley said he is most proud of the work he does as a minister. This is my most gratifying position, he said. I am still able to help my people by spreading the Word.

Spend any time surfing the Web and you are bound to find stories that are just too bizarre to be true. He re s a sampling, edited for length. And remember, just because its online doesnt mean its true! Fr om sfgate.com: D eputy:Alleged cat eater had carcass in kitchen It was the sound of a wailing cat that first caught the neighbors attention. When she looked toward the sound she told authorities that she saw her next-door neighbor cutting off the crying felines head with a knife. The call she subsequently made to deputies started a bizarre animal cruelty investigation that has focused attention from around the country on a working-class neighborhood in a Bakersfield suburb where a man allegedly was fileting cats and cooking them on his backyard barbecue. Ive been getting calls on this from around the country, Ke rn C ounty Sheriffs spokesman Ray Pruitt said. F or some reason when somebody hurts animals people are more outraged than they are for a lot of other cases. Investigators decided to release new details on Thursday because of the nationwide interest in the case. Jason Wilmert, 35, will be arraigned Friday on charges alleging animal cruelty and using a pet or domesticated animal for food. Both are misdemeanors. A neighbor told KBAK-TV that she had seen Wilmert with a wailing tabby cat cutting it down the back with a knife, then decapitating it. She turned away in disgust and called sheriffs deputies. Pruitt said that when deputies arrived that morning at Wilmerts home they talked to other neighbors, who said they had heard the sounds of screaming cats coming from the house in Oildale. When he didnt answer his door, Pruitt said a deputy walked down the driveway and saw a cats head in the backyard. Later W ilmert came outside and deputies arrested him. When they searched his house they found a cat carcass in the kitchen sink, as if were being prepped for cooking. D eputies also found an animal trap in the driveway. We dont know if he was using the trap to catch cats, but he had one, Pruitt said. N obody has called in reporting missing pets, and investigators suspect the victims were strays. From news.yahoo.com: School zone sign with six separate times irks driver An unusual school zone speed limit sign in suburban D etroit has drawn the attention of an irked driver. Greg Smith tells The Oakland Pr ess of Pontiac that he noticed the sign recently in O akland Countys White Lake To wnship that lists six separate times when drivers should slow down to 25 mph on school days. Smith says drivers practically have to come to a stop to read it. An elementary, middle and high school all are nearby. Police Chief Ed Harris says a meeting is being called with the White Lake Township supervisor, the school district and the county road commission about the sign. Harris says the township didnt put it up but is trying to resolve the matter. Fr om boston.com: F ugitive r uns out of gas,calls sheriff for help A 59-year-old fugitive is back behind bars after he ran out of gas in Wyoming and called the local sheriffs office for roadside assistance. The Wy oming Highway Patrol said Tuesday that Richard V incent of Prineville, Ore., was wanted in Georgia for violating parole on a murder and escape conviction. V incent called the Uinta C ounty Sheriffs Office and it sent state troopers to help him out. When they learned that Vincent had an outstanding felony warrant from A tlanta, he was taken into custody. Vincent is now being held for Georgia authorities pending extradition. Fr om timesonline.com: Po lice:Mumbling Pa.suspect had mouthful of crack A western Pennsylvania man is jailed on drug charges because police say something other than a confession came out of his mouth when he was hit with a stun gun. The B eaver County Times reports T uesday that 56-year-old Fr ank Lee Turner was mumbling when Ambridge police stopped a car in which he was a passenger on Feb. 5. P olice say Turner was mumbling before he struggled with police and was hit with the stun gun only to have 23 individually wrapped pieces of crack cocaine fall out of his mouth. Turner faces a preliminary hearing on drug possession, resisting arrest and other charges. Fr om denverpost.com: Alaska man accused of trying to extort govt A uthorities in Alaska say a man threatened to teach cr ackheads how to make electromagnetic distortion devices unless the state paid him $85,000. Stanislaus Grzeskowiak, of North Pole, is charged with felony extortion and threatening harm. He was in jail Tuesday on $2,500 bail. Sgt. Jess Carson says the 36-year-old called state troopers Friday and said he knew how to use discarded televisions to make devices that could block police radios, computer communication and cellphones. He also threatened to cut the communications of oil companies and credit card companies if he didnt get the money. A uthorities say Grzeskowiak blames the state and companies for his financial situation, lack of education and marital problems. Grzeskowiak is r epresented by the public defenders office.

www.HometownNewsOL.com F riday, February 24, 2012 A13Po rt Orange/Ponce Inlet So. Daytona/Daytona Beach Shores 015270 684321 Stetson walks lightly when it comes to carbon emissionsDELAND In five years, S tetson University has traveled one-third of the way toward completely eliminating its carbon footprint. S ince the college started gauging its emissions in 2007, the school has r educed its carbon consumption by 29 percent. Al Allen, Stetsons associate vice president for facilities management, said its a natural goal for any university to lead by example. H aving a natural r esources challenge in front of us is something we should take a leadership r ole in, he said. The position of the university is to enhance the quality of daily life everywhere, so part of our mission is to teach people, to broaden their horiz ons; their understanding. The school has succeeded thus far by changing the way it operates and encouraging students to do the same, Mr. Allen said. One of the most recent improvements involves the installation in December of solar paneling on the roof of the Hollis Fitness Center to heat water for the swimming pool there. N ot only can the outdoor pool be open year-round, said Jessica Stark, coordinator of campus recreation, but it can do so in an envir onmentally sensitive way. W e teach students to be the best person they can be, she said, so its nice that we can be the best business we can be too. M anning the front desk of the fitness center recently was freshman Erica Lazzano, who took pride in her schools mission. I t makes an overall positive impression, she said about the green mindset. Y ou feel like youre going to a school that doesnt just care about the money. The fitness center improvements are one example of many. The school has replaced inefficient lighting and electric ballasts all over campus, added heat-reducing film to most windows, installed surge protectors and even turned off the hot water used for washing clothes in r esidence halls. N one of our students have objected so far, Mr. Allen said. Most laundry detergents today work very w ell in cooler water anyway. The college also has r eplaced a gas-run public safety vehicle with an electric model, swapped out fuel-burning utility vehicles with diesel models, and switched to more organic fertilizers and cleaner-burning mowers. A carbon-reduction plan includes taking advantage of technologies, investing in conservation efforts and its about changing behavior, Mr. Allen said. T ony Abbott, director of S tetsons environmental sciences program, has been having students compile surveys and data every two y ears since the school started performing the carbon inventory in 2007, a r equirement for membership in the American College and University Presidents Climate C ommitment. F or us, it seems the best thing to do is eliminate waste anywhere we can see it, Professor Abbott said. W e can actually look at how much energy were using and determine how much less were using every y ear. Thats a concrete step. The goal is worthy, he said, since carbon emissions are the major greenhouse gas blamed for global warming. But that doesnt mean he doesnt have other targets. As an environmental scientist, Im excited to see people looking for ways to conserve energy and r educe their global climate change impact, he said. B ut its somewhat disconcerting that carbon has become the one pollutant, as opposed to looking at other things like nuclear energy. I think people in J apan would take issue with the idea that nuclear energy is truly clean. As the school moves forward, putting more envir onmentally friendly technology in place will to become economically feasible. The low-hanging fruit is always easy and sweet and r equires little effort, he said. But money is not available for a massive r ethinking of our institution like it has been for colleges like Harvard or Yale. They can invest 30 years into the future and not worry about returns. We have to worry about r eturns over two or three y ears on the horizon. Mr. Allen said hes constantly on the lookout for new technology with the appropriate return in savings. S olar proposals may not be financially attractive today, as far as returns on investment, he said, but when they become financially attractive, well make that happen too. We want to continue to reduce our carbon footprint. By Dan Harkinsdharkins@hometownnewsol.com

F or more information or to make a reservation,call (386) 255-2431 or visit www.DaytonaPlayhouse.org. Daytona Playhouse Ihope everybody has been enjoying the wonderful weather we have been experiencing the past few days. It is just a reminder that spring is not far off. Why not start the season out right with a unique plant called So ciety Garlic? M any of us use garlic as a supplement along with our daily vitamin but not many of us think of planting garlic in our gardens society garlic, that is. Society garlic is not r eally garlic at all. Its only similarity to real garlic is that it is a member of the lily (Alliaceae) family. So ciety garlic can create a splash of purple color that can accent any garden or landscape. It looks best when it is planted in groups but it can also used as a border around larger trees and shrubs. One of the most distinctive aspects of the plant is the smell. They smell just like garlic cloves. Although they are fragrant almost any time of day, the fragrance is strongest at night. S ociety garlic plants are easy to grow and will grow w ell in well-drained, light sandy soil. They will tolerate full sun to partial shade, but they will r equire regular watering during the hot summer months. Dividing them as they multiply can easily propagate the plants. I have read from some sources that the plants are edible, but I probably would not recommend eating them. It is best to use them as an ornamental plant. I have also been told that they deter moles, but I have no actual proof of that. If anybody experiments with that, please let me know if you had positive results with the experiment. I almost forgot to mention one other added bonus, the plant is a perennial and it blooms from spring to mid summer. If you grow hibiscus, one of the most annoying, and destructive pests are little critters called aphids. A phids are small softbodied insects that congregate mainly on tender new growth and also right around the bloom of the plant. These creatures feed in large colonies and can multiply quite rapidly. Aphids can often cause the leaves of ornamentals to curl up and the insects can hide in these curls, thus escaping the effects of insecticides. A phids do their damage by sucking life-sustaining juices from the plant making it weak and vulnerable to disease. S ince hibiscus are somewhat tender, you cannot use Malathion as an insecticide of choice as it will cause your plant to drop leaves. The best r emedy and protection is to use a systemic insecticide such as Orthene or Orthenex. Orthenex does double duty as it takes care of the pests and also helps with some diseases. Y ou can also use a rose and flower insect spray, but be sure aphids are listed as one of the insects it kills. Thats all for this weeks column and I hope you found the content useful and entertai ning.

Y ou may qualify to particpate in a clinical research trial.Do you or Anyone you Know Suffer FromLung Fibrosis 684844 It is a commonly known fact that very few of F loridas fishermen are actually original Floridians. Whenever anglers from the Nor th transition to Central F lorida they invariably must deal with a good bit of culture shock. F ishing in our inshore brackish waters requires some changes in methods and equipment but not in the way that many Northerners believe. Heavy steel leaders on 50-pound test line that is anchored by a half-pound of w eight is not necessary. In most cases, the equipment and tackle needed in the local inshore is lighter than that used in cooler climes. Aside from learning the change in tackle, there is a language problem that new arrivals must deal with. Many of the Florida fishing terms are left over from when the state was actually a part of the D eep South and not a v acation/retirement haven for people from New York, N ew Jersey and the Mid-West. The language barrier between Nor thern and Southern fishermen is substantial. N ot long ago, I wrote about fishing with two men from I llinois. When we had enough fish in the box for them to have a nice dinner I mentioned that they had a mess. B oth men burst out laughing. They had to tell me that they didnt know that a nice catch was a mess. Another term used locally that goes right over the heads of newcomers is skinny water, which is how a lot of southern fishermen refer to shallow water. My old buddy, the late Jack Thomas, would always chuckle at that mention. He just thought it was funny to refer to to shallow water asskinny. S ometimes skinny water is called thin water but never fat water. Recently, I told a friend that the water was so skinny that I couldnt even get through with my kayak. That brought a bewildered look from him. He re in Florida we never catch fluke. Our flatfish are always flounder. Sometimes it is a fluke when we catch flounder but that is another story. In many states the F lorida strain of large mouth bass has been introduced to their waters. Many times when folks from those states arrive here they ask us about F lorida bass. Here they are just called bass. That is probably like Chinese people just calling their eats food. O ur speckled perch are not called croppie or crappie. They may look the same but those last two do not exist in Central Florida. S hell crackers are a large blue gill type of fish but does not replace the blue gill and they are often found together. Night crawlers are not peeping toms but large earthworms. There really are no bobbers in a Cracker fishing box. They are called corks no matter that they are made of plastic or S tyrofoam. Reds are always r edfish and are never red snapper but sometimes they are channel bass. All boats can be skiffs no matter what the hull design. G ator is the name for large toothy reptiles except when we are talking about spotted sea trout or even gar fish. Bu gs are Florida lobsters. They are identified by the fact that they have no pinchers and taste better than the northern variety. On the water, mangoes are not fruit but mangrove snappers. All fishing rods are poles and some are made from cane. Florida fishing boots are always white. If you wonder why, put on a pair of black rubber boots in July and listen as your feet fry from the heat. Grunts are not army enlisted men but a tasty type of schooling fish. Snook may be called snouk (rhymes with fluke) if you hear that pronunciation know that you are in the presence of a true F loridian. C oke is any soft drink and vy-eny is the little, tightly packed canned sausages. I hope that lesson in Southern-ese helps you in adjusting. You never know when y ou may wind up with a mess in a Cracker skiff. D an Smith has fished the waters of Volusia County for more than 40 years.E-mail questions and comments to fishwdan@att.net.

Hello smart shoppers. I r eceived an email from a reader attacking my suggestions regarding sell by and use by dates found on food products. I suggested y ou can use products past these dates. A ccording to the FDA they have nothing to do with dates, they are added by the manufacturer. Outside of baby formula and some forms of poultry the FDA has nothing to do with it. Using a product just past the dates and handling it properly they said it is hardly likely to do y ou harm except for boxed products such as baking mixes which must not be used past these dates. Good refrigeration, clean surfaces and hand washing must be observed. Dates are an indicator of quality rather than safety. Once a perishable product is frozen it doesnt matter if the date expires because foods kept frozen continuously are safe for long periods of time. If a product smells and looks good it is hardly likely to cause harm. I have been doing this for years and never had a problem. My suggestion is when in doubt, throw it out, it is your choice. F ebruary is Black History M onth, and before the month is gone, I must share some delicious recipes. When I previously wrote a r ecipe for black-eyed peas, I r eceived an email from a r eader with her family story and recipe. Sylvias Florida heritage goes back for generations, before Florida became a state. Although not black, her recipe is truly ethnic. I will include the r ecipe in Bessies Hoppin J ohn.

Served over r ice with a side of corn bread, it is rib-sticking and wonderful. Using ham instead of pork or bacon makes it low fat. 1 large package blackeyed peas 1/4-pound salt pork or bacon, cut up, or 1 ham hock or chunks of ham 1/2-teaspoon each of salt and pepper 1 large clove garlic and 1 large onion, chopped H ot sauce (optional) Co ver peas with cold water; discard any that float. Drain. P lace in pot, cover with water. Br ing to a boil, reduce heat and cook for two minutes. Co ver and let stand for one hour. NOTE: You can let peas soak in the pot overnight. This method removes most of the gas-producing properties. Dr ain peas and return to pot. Add the ham or salt pork, salt and pepper and about 11/2 cups water. Cover and cook for one hour. Add garlic, onion and a few dashes of hot sauce and cook until peas are tender. The gravy will be thick. Add more water if necessary. Se rv e over rice with corn bread.

What many people do not realize is that the PGA Tour has been about entertainment for many, many years now. The H onda Classic, to be played Feb. 27 to March 4 at PGA N ational Resort & Spa in Palm B each Gardens is one of the best examples of golf entertainment. Getting to see the best players in the world is the main form of entertainment for every spectator. With Tiger Wo ods commitment to play in the event, The Honda will feature eight of the top 10 players in the world, as well as three of last years four major champions and defending champ Rory Sabbatini. The field will be as deep and competitive as any weve seen this year. C ontrary to many opinions, the Tours best players enjoy a tough test of golf. On the Champion Course at PGA N ational, they will get just that. With thick rough, firm, and narrow fairways, well protected greens and the famous Bear Trap, the Champ consistently ranks in the top-five toughest courses the Tour plays each y ear. This year, tournament officials have decided to allow golfers the opportunity to distance themselves from the field or make up a few lost shots after tackling the Bear Tr ap by moving the tees up on the par-5 18th. The hole has been shortened by 50 yards, making reaching the green in two shots more likely and tempting the players with the possibility of making an eagle. Of course, with reward comes risk. The green is wellguarded by water and sand, meaning for every eagle, we could just as easily see a double-bogey or two. To make the spectators comfortable, there are numerous grandstands as w ell as concessions set up around the course. One of the most popular areas is near the par-3 17th hole. From there, y ou can watch every shot on the difficult 17th and see play on the 11th hole. This year the amount of hospitality space on this hole alone is 32,000 square-feet, with half of that being taken up by the FPL P avilion where general admission ticket holders may enjoy theatre seating, flat screen televisions, food and drinks, and even cool off in the FPL Mist Zone. The golf course isnt the only place to enjoy this event. When the sun goes down, the golf may be over, but the fun has just begun. While the grounds crews work on the course, preparing it for the next day, you may find y ourself sitting next to World No 2 Lee Westwood or Open Champion Darren Clark enjoying a cold beverage at iBar. The fun officially kicks off on Tuesday with the practice r ound. A Junior Golf Clinic will take place at 4 p.m., and K enny Gs pro-am party fills the evening with the pro-am taking place on Wednesday. Thursday marks the beginning of the competition. After a great day on the course, head over to the E issey Campus Theatre for An Evening with Kenny G. T ickets are $75, $95 and $125 with the proceeds benefiting tournament charities. After golf on Friday and S aturday, everyone can enjoy the After Play Concert on the Michelob ULTRA Terrace, and the Tire Kingdom/Yokahama Fireworks Spectacular. All during The Honda Classic there will be a Play Golf America Expo, the F amily Golf Challenge and the Kids Fun Zone. At the Fun Z one, players will stop after their round to sign autographs and meet their fans. The first 1,000 kids through the gates on Saturday will r eceive an oversize golf ball, great for collecting autographs. While the kids get to enjoy a great event, they arent the only ones being honored. Once again, The Honda Classic will pay tribute to active duty military, reservists, dependents and veterans with free admission throughout the event. These fine men and women and their families will have a covered 2,500square-foot hospitality deck on the 17th hole dedicated to their private use. On Saturday, the pin at the 17th will have an American F lag and military personnel will tend the flag throughout the day. I t s all about creating a diverse fan experience, says H onda Classic Executive Dir ector Ken Kennerly. We want to make sure we have a full day of activities for every member of the family. To b orrow a phrase from our military, Mission accomplished. D aily tickets start at $25 for Tuesday, $35 for Wednesday, and $45 for Thursday through Sunday.

4March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS Many Baby Boomers are facing an uncertain financial future. How to make sure you are not one of them. F or past generations of American workers, retirement may have begun with a cake, a gold watch and a joyful send-off from longtime co-workers before easing into a lifestyle funded by a company pension and Social Security. Things are different for todays Baby Boomers, who are facing retirement in a challenging economy and a less secure job market. Companies have discontinued pension benefits, and the future of Social Security is uncertain. This generation must make its own plans to fund retirement. I just think we all need to change our mindset, said r etiring teacher Lisa Miller of South Daytona. I didnt think there would ever be a drastic change in the economy. We enjoyed an affluent lifestyle compared to our parents. We thought with a pension and Social Security, our needs would be met. Ms. Miller always considered herself a saver, but enlisted the help of a financial planner about five years ago. The closer I got to retirement, I realized theres so many things out there, so many ways you can make your money work for you, she said.

5March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS The Brass Years just doesnt sound the same Pinching pennies was a practice at which our parents excelled. A product of the Great Depression, they learned how to stretch a dime and raise a family economically and efficiently. They were thrifty out of necessity and somehow made sure we had everything we needed to thrive. Ba by B oomers, however, as products of the post-war prosperity, tend to represent a generation of instantgratification. Now that many of us are depending on retirement incomes and/or Social Security benefits to pay the bills, we might be faced with some penny-pinching of our own. We may have the extra time to enjoy life but perhaps not the funds to do what we always envisioned during our socalled Golden Years. The Brass Years just doesnt sound the same, does it? They can still be fun, though. With a little work and a lot of spontaneity, we have been able to keep alive our dream of a retirement filled with travel. I have found that last minute deals can be easy on the budget as long as one is willing to being open to a new, and maybe unplanned, adventure. Being flexible and spontaneous not only keeps us young, but can shave dollars off the cost of a cruise, hotel stay or car rental. Being computer savvy helps as there are many alternative ways to find lodging other than your typical hotel stay. If y ou are not averse to cleaning up after yourself without daily housekeeping making your beds, a viable option is Airbnb.com or VRBO.com; the latter acronym stands for Vacation Rentals by Owner. On a recent trip to New York City, we opted for a third floor walkup in trendy Harlem at a rate of only $110 per night, versus the usual $300-$400 for a full-service hotel in Manhattan. Not only was the neighborhood safe and quiet but we had a full kitchen with the option to cook for ourselves if we chose, saving even more money. This choice also enabled us to feel more like a native of the city without the hustle and bustle of the tourist centers. Thinking out of the box when choosing a destination can provide a w elcome surprise as happened when we traded houses a few years back in upstate Vermont during the middle of winter. At the time we were not under the time constraints we are now so opted for a two-month house swap, putting us in the middle of snow drifts, blizzards and a winter wonderland while our hosts wiled away the hours down here on the beach, enjoying balmy temps. Having grown up in Florida, those months proved to be a treat as my husband taught me the joys of spending afternoons sledding and laughing hysterically after consistently losing my footing on ice covered surfaces. No bones we re broken but I have a newfound r espect for those who deal with these potential hazards every year. Having the luxury of putting another log on the fire and watching nature at its most glorious was something I will never forget. And all it cost was the drive up and back and some spending money. Of course, we will be forever known to the residents of the little town of Jeffersonville as those LIFE IN THE MI DDLESUSAN YOUNG See BRASS, Page 13 1873 N.

or her financial future. Donna Higbee, a financial adviser with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in Ormond Beach, said the biggest mistake she sees Baby B oomers making is putting off retirement planning, thinking, Its been a crazy couple of years. Im going to put that off for now. The second thing I notice, and its completely understandable, but people have gone very conservative, Ms. H igbee said. People are in a wait and see mode, but they still want to r etire in five years. M any Boomers have preconceived notions about retirement planning, and may think that because they suffered losses in recent years that they wont be able to retire, Ms. Higbee said. changed what your retirement will look like. It doesnt mean y ou cant retire. It just means you have to plan for it, she said. Ms. Higbee said she now spends more time educating clients and running through various scenarios with them. W e say, What is it that youre looking for? When do you want to retire? What does retirement look like to y ou? R etirement planning begins with deciding when the client wants to r etire, she said. Y ou really work backward, she said. Clients must make decisions about the lifestyle they want to maintain after retirement. Then we put a pen to paper and determine how much the client will need to save in the years leading up to retirement. P eople who are nearer to retirement age need to take a much closer look at their spending habits, Ms. Higbee said. However, saving for retirement doesnt have to mean you have to give up golf altogether. I f youre planning on retirement, y ou need to think about the fact that y ou have expensive hobbies and that y ou want to travel, and you plan for inflation, she said. If you put it in the plan, its not so much an issue. Ms. Higbee said that Boomers saving for retirement should look for money-saving strategies to help them enjoy their favorite activities while still meeting their goals. I n a challenging economy, everybody has to look at their priorities when it comes to spending and saving. I clip coupons. Im willing to golf at two oclock in the afternoon in order to get cheaper cart fees. Ms. Miller said she didnt worry too much about shopping around for deals before she began planning for r etirement. Now, she is a bargain hunter. I didnt think I would have to worry about having to pay for my insurance, she said. Im going to have to do without some things because Im going to have to pay $700 a month for my insurance. When her auto insurance premiums recently increased, Ms. Miller spent a lot of time comparisonshopping before deciding on a new policy that saved her about $100 a year. A hundred dollars a year makes a big difference, she said. In the process of insurance shopping, she learned of various discounts that would be available to her as a retiree. I didnt know that there were deals for retirees. I didnt think about all that stuff. Now thats the kind of thing that I think about. Ms. Miller said she used to travel three or four times a year but now plans just one trip. She does her own nails instead of going to a salon, clips coupons, and when it comes to clothes, she said, I dont buy anything thats not on sale. S he watches movies on Netflix instead of going to the theater, has the most basic cell phone plan, and has cut back on eating out. Y et she doesnt feel deprived, she said. I think everyone has to look over their personal priorities and decide where y ou can cut, and these were the things that I could do without, she said. I can buy clothes on sale and get compliments just like I paid full price. Though she used to eat out three times a week, Ms. Miller said that now, Eating out is more of a treat, and I enjoy it more because it is a 7March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWSF utureFrom page 4 See FUTURE, Page 11 If youre planning on retirement, you need to think about the fact that you have expensive hobbies and that you want to travel, and you plan for inflation.

9March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS Even hippies gotta worry about money It was a little confusing for me to watch our peace and love generation morph into our parents. We had pledged to each other that we could make the planet a better place by avoiding the 9-to-5 rat race that had ensnared our hapless parents. We vowed that the pursuit of the almighty dollar would never be a part of our future. N ot us. We would spend our time hanging out with friends, smoking Mother Nature and listening to cool music. It was all to be so idyllic and pastoral. Our very own take on living the good life. Then it happened. Z AP! R eality hit like a lightning bolt. College money dried up and our parents cut us loose. We had no choice but to take our two years of Poly-Sci or our philosophy degree out into the workplace and try to turn them into cash. It proved to be very difficult. Y et, when we did go to work, we excelled like none before us. The post war generation authored an explosion of new and exciting ideas that carry us till this day. Technology would be our gift to the world. While we were doing that, however, we ignored one basic fact: Our country was built on hard work. The kids who went to S an Francisco with flowers in their hair had no interest in doing the mundane labor that carries this great nation. Ours was a larger, more ethereal (and less physically demanding) calling. At least that was how we perceived it. As for me, I found out that once I married my little hippie girlfriend a whole lot of r esponsibility was part of the deal. When the kids came along forget about it I had no choice but to immerse myself in the work that would provide the cash to sustain us. It was amazing how fast my ideals began to conform. My peace sign quickly turned into a Mercedes emblem. In my younger days I had searched for the perfect high, but now my goal was the perfect mutual fund. The horror! The changes were insidious. As the years passed I didnt even realize that my interest in the R olling Stones had been replaced by my worry over kidney stones. I had started out protesting against the man and now I was the man. R unning a business, raising children, paying a mortgage and fretting about my federal income taxes. When I looked into the mirror I could no longer see the long-haired kid who lounged away his days playing harmonica in the park at Haight Ashbury. B ack then I had been concerned about mans injustice to man, but now my problems were personal.

11March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS treat. Ev en with a retirement plan in place, Sydney and Stephen Nash of D eLand found themselves having to make adjustments in their spending due to the economy. Ms. Nash left her bookkeeping job in 2000 to take care of Mr. Nashs parents, while he continued working as a foreman for an energy company until retiring in 2003. He continued working as a consultant until 2009, when the company he was working for cut back on consultants. The Nashes then began drawing from their retirement plan. The couple lost money in the stock market, decreasing their dividend income significantly, while their health insurance increased by $700 a month. I t s been over a period of nine y ears, but still, seven hundred dollars just to see your retirement going down, Ms. Nash said. The Nashes have adapted to their situation by adjusting their retirement lifestyle, cutting back in areas such as travel and eating out. L uckily, we had taken a big vacation, Ms. Nash said of a post-retirement drive across the United States. That was our dream vacation we had prepared for, but our vacations now are shorter times, fewer days and not as expensive as before. We used to go for 10 days. Now its five or six days, and not as many times a year. R estaurant meals were a major cutback. W e used to go out to eat three times a week. Now we go out three times a month, she said. The couple, who live in a rural area, have cut back on trips to town and now When we go into town, we get everything done, Ms. Nash said. Mr. N ash owns a plane but flies it less often due to fuel costs. They have also cut back on grocery bills, gifts and other shopping. I havent been to the mall in probably over a year, Ms. Nash said. How ever, the Nashes have been able to enjoy their retirement in a house on a river with a pool and a boat. Really, all in all, we dont miss anything we cut back on. We dont feel deprived, thats for sure, she said, attributing their comfortable lifestyle to working within their retirement plan. If yo u re a Baby Boomer approaching retirement, the sooner you can cut expenses and repay debt, the easier the transition will be, according to J ane Bryant Quinn, personal finance expert and author of Making the M ost of Your Money NOW. In a recent AARP bulletin entitled Financial Plan B eats Panic Every Time, Ms. Bryant r ecommended that pre-retirees think about where they might find parttime work after retirement. Downsizing your housing expenses is another possible money-saving measure, even if you dont get the price you want for y our house. Y our living arrangements should follow your budget and needs, not y our dream of a better price next y ear, Ms. Bryant said. If yo u re still having trouble motiva ting yourself toward retirement planning, try a few mind tricks. Mark P atterson, Baby Boomer and author of The Failsafe Retirement System, offered these strategies in an On R etirement column at money.usnews.com: B efore making a discretionary purchase, convert the dollar cost into personal time. The closer we get to retirement, the more we become aware that our time is limited, Mr. Patterson said. Knowing how many hours you will have to work to pay for that $100 gadget will make you wonder if you r eally need it. Add the money to your nest egg instead. Another strategy Mr. Patterson recommends is thinking of a fun thing y ou want to do when you retire, such as travel, and determine the amount of the fund youll need to fund it. Thats a specific and motivating goal that you should think about when you forgo an expense today, Mr. Patterson said. Whether youre a disciplined saver or have to resort to mind tricks, having a retirement plan doesnt mean y ou have to give up everything you enjoy from now until retirement. I t s never an absolute, Ms. Higbee said. Its a working plan thats fluid. It all depends on the clients priorities.F utureFrom page 7 685139

I nstead of growing pot I was growing a pot belly. W ith my kids wanting to attend college I had to cut corners. The guy who wanted to change the world was reduced to hunting down the best early bird special. M ost of the time I remained optimistic that my financial situation would change for the better and I would soon be back on my feet. In reality, if I didnt come up with a car payment I would be on my feet soon enough. As tight as money was I remember how shot down I was when the girl at McDonalds gave me a senior discount on a cup of coffee. Me? A senior? I had to bite my tongue to keep from telling her where to put that discount. I was only 55. Still, once I calmed down, I had to admit that my dreams of a smoothr unning BMW had now become dreams of a smooth-running BM. Now when I heard the name Grateful Dead, an image of Dr. Ke vorkian would pop into my mind. It was just awful. Now, as a semi-retired individual, I am happy to receive a check from the same government that I once wanted to overthrow. My savings r eceive almost no interest, and I pay for Medicare that will probably not even be there when I need it. I nstead of acid I need an antacid. My K-E-G is now an E-K-G. B ut you know, life these days is pretty good. My beautiful hippie wife Lana is still with me and we r aised two great kids. We are OK financially and I have plenty of time to reflect on the journey that I traveled. Becoming my parents was not nearly as traumatic as I once believed. Somewhere deep inside I know that if I had to, I could still spend my days in the park living off Ramen Noodles and peanut butter.

14March 2012FOREVER YOUNG VO LUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS D eciding whom to designate as a beneficiary for your IRA might seem like an easy decisionyou probably want your money to go to someone near and dear to you. But is the person (or people) youre thinking of actually named as the beneficiary on the particular IRA you opened all those years ago? To be certain, its wise to review your beneficiary designation form every few years, or whenever youve had a change in circumstances, such as a birth of a child or grandchild or change in marital status. Keep in mind that a will or trust does not ov erride this form, or the IRA document itself (which may have default beneficiary designations that control even if no beneficiary designation is on file), unless you name your estate or trust as your beneficiary. Because beneficiary designations are important estate-planning documents, you may want to review them with your attorney. Y ou have the option of naming primary and contingent beneficiaries. The primary beneficiary is your first choice to receive your retirement benefits and can be more than one person or entity. If you choose more than one primary beneficiary, you may specify a percentage to be paid to each person and indicate whether a beneficiarys share will be void if he or she predeceases you or if that share will pass to his or her children. A contingent beneficiary is someone y ou designate to receive your IRA only if all primary beneficiaries predecease you, pass away at the same time as you or disclaim their rights to the IRA assets. It s important to note that distributions from an IRA may have tax consequences for your beneficiaries. While taxes shouldnt be the primary determining factor in naming your beneficiaries, ignoring the impact of taxes could have significant consequences for your family. R emember to look at your IRA assets in context with the rest of your estate before making any decisions. To help ensure that your wishes can be executed as you intended, discuss your beneficiary designations, wills and other estate matters with your tax and legal advisors and other members of your advisory team. A Primary Beneficiaries Primer When naming a primary beneficiary, some designations to be familiar with are all my children, per stirpes and per capita. Terminology and definitions may vary from state to state, however, so you should consult with an attorney before making a final decision. P er Stirpes: Also known as rights of r epresentation in some states, per stirpes means that the children of a beneficiary who predeceases you will share equally in the portion of your IRA originally left to the now-deceased child.P er Capita: This method divides your IRA assets among your beneficiaries and the descendants of any beneficiary who dies before you. For example, if you name your three daughters as your primary beneficiaries and one of them dies before you, each of her own three children will receive a share equal to that of your other two daughterssplitting the IRA into five equal parts. In addition, remember that being precise is better than being vague or general. For example, its not uncommon for people to name All My Children on a form. How ever, the better practice is to list, in fact, the children being designated, and then decide if their share is held per capita (meaning if the child dies before y ou, your IRA assets will be divided among your surviving children, with the remaining children sharing equally) or per stirpes (meaning that your deceased childs children will receive the shares).Articles are published for general information purposes and are not an offer or a solicitation to sell or buy any securities or commodities.
